Priyanka Chopra has got a positive response for her villainous act in her debut Hollywood movie, Baywatch. And with her TV show Quantico getting a third season, the actress is on a roll.
In an interview to Bombay Times, the actress says she is glad to have made a dent in the Hollywood industry. "It encourages people to not look at South Asians through a singular prism. Hopefully, people will not see us as exotic princesses now. Having said that, I am not someone who will harp on something that I have achieved because there is so much more to do so."
She adds that there are many Indian actors who have worked in global entertainment and are doing it. "They are taking on roles which break the rules, including Anil Kapoor. We need people to come in and demand good roles. We will not get it all the time, I have faced it myself. So many times I have been told I am too Indian for a mainstream part. I don't know what that means. That's what we need to change," she says.
