After the ABC Network which is the maker of crime series 'Quantico', the lead actress Priyanka Chopra apologised for a recent episode of the show, for which she received a lot of backlash from several Indians. 

In a tweet, Priyanka said that she is a "proud Indian" and it was never her intention to hurt anyone's sentiments. She said, "I'm extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologise. I'm a proud Indian and that will never change,"

Earlier this week, the producers also issued a statement in which they said:

"The episode has stirred a lot of emotion, much of which is unfairly aimed at Priyanka Chopra, who didn't create the show, nor does she write or direct it,"

For the unversed it all happened due to an episode which depicted how Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra) foils a terror attack on Manhattan planned by a group of Indian nationalists with the intention to blame Pakistan. After the episode aired last week, a section of the Internet turned against Priyanka and accused her betraying their trust.

Isn't it shocking?

Quantico first aired in 2015 and Priyanka Chopra has twice won People's Choice Award for her portrayal of Alex Parrish, who started off a FBI rookie, who graduates to become a CIA agent.

Quantico will wrap after season three, which is currently airing.

Never miss a chance to be amazed by the glitz and the glamour of the Entertainment industry.
