Los Angeles:
Bollywood's 'desi girl' Priyanka Chopra's acceptance speech for the People's Choice Award was emotional, but perhaps a tad too long for international actor John Stamos.
Priyanka went on a thanking spree when she clinched the Favourite Actress in a New TV Series award, but her speech was cut short by newcomer John Stamos when he quipped: "It's just a two-hour show."
It was a big moment for Priyanka as she was being awarded for her lead role in Quantico, which marked her foray as an international actress.
"I'd like to thank everyone who voted for Quantico. It is my first year in the US, and to come to another country and actually get this kind of acceptance is, I guess, what America is all about. So, thank you for accepting me, thank you to my mom, my manager, the cast and crew, the writer, ABC, everyone. I'm really overwhelmed," she said. (Also Read: Priyanka Chopra is People's Choice.

It was then that John, who himself took home the trophy for Favorite Actor in a New TV Series for his work in Grandfathered, interrupted the actress in a lighter vein, saying "It's just a two-hour show". Then, they moved on to announcing another nominations.
Watch:
Priyanka, 33, was presented the award by Hollywood action star Vin Diesel, who will reportedly be working soon with Deepika Padukone in a new project. The shooting for the film is likely to start next month.
