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.

The said controversial episode, which aired last week, depicted by Alex Parrish foils the attempt of an Indian terrorist group (which she identifies because of a rudraksh on a chain worn by one of the terrorist) to carry out their sinister plan. Priyanka's Indian fans considered it treachery and slammed the actress. Even after Priyanka Chopra issued the apology (above), the Internet appeared to be "unforgiving" and said:
Fir bhi nhi dekhenge !!
