Priyanka Chopra apologised Sunday after the furore over the US TV series Quantico that showed her uncovering a terror plot hatched by Indian Hindu nationalists. The episode of spy thriller Quantico showed Chopra’s character, an FBI agent named Alex Parrish, thwarting the plan and noticing one of the terrorists wearing a Hindu rosary (beads).
Chopra, a former Miss World, said she was “A proud Indian and that will never change. I’m extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico,” she wrote on Twitter. “That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologise.”
The episode, aired on June 1, triggered outrage here with many fans taking to social media to “shame” the actress, calling her a “traitor”.
