Actress Priyanka Chopra seems to have fallen prey to a trouble, which ideally, has got nothing to do with her. Her TV show, Quantico has been bashed by several trolls online and by a group called the "Hindu Americans" who have proposed a boycott of her work. “She has crossed a line with her garbage lying attack on peaceful Hindus. Shame on her!” the group under the handle @HinduAmericans posted on Twitter.
Now issuing an official apology, ABC has clarified saying that PeeCee has no involvement whatsoever in producing the content on the show. Here's what the official statement from ABC Studios reads: "ABC Studios and the executive producers of 'Quantico' would like to extend an apology to our audience who were offended by the most recent episode, “The Blood of Romeo.” 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. She has no involvement in the casting of the show or the story lines depicted in the series." 'Quantico' is a work of fiction. The show has featured antagonists of many different ethnicities and backgrounds, but in this case we inadvertently and regrettably stepped into a complex political issue. It was certainly not our intention to offend anyone,” the statement said.
Quantico started off on a great note as the first season kicked off in 2016. However, season 2 and season 3 of Quantico didn't receive a very good response from viewers which is why ABC cancelled the next season. PeeCee plays an FBI agent, Alex Parrish in Quantico.
