For the lead role in ABC drama Quantico, Priyanka has done her homework to get into the skin of the character named Alex Parrish, half Indian and half Caucasian FBI trainee at Quantico base in Virginia.
Celebrating her association with ABC at a grand bash held in New York, earlier this week, Priyanka revealed that she has been enjoying shooting for the show. Priyanka had recently released two music albums titled 'In My City' and 'Exotic', which had brought her to the limelight.
