Priyanka Chopra has landed herself in trouble after an episodes of her American drama series ‘Quantico’ struck a wrong chord with the audience.
The episode features a group of Indian nationalists, who plot a bomb blast in Manhattan, New York, with the ultimate intention of framing Pakistan for the incident. The episode has irked many viewers, as Indians expressed outrage on Twitter at the implication that an Indian could be a terrorist.
In particular, they took a dig at Chopra as seemingly she 'maligns' her own country. The episode is also littered with references to and jokes about India-Pakistan rivalry. To many in India, the plot twist implicating Indians in a terrorist act, especially over the touchy issue of Kashmir, has made it even worse.
Hey @priyankachopra , the love, adulation and fame that you got from us Indians is a significant reason that today you are on world stage. And you, the “Desi Girl” ,played along calmly portraying Indians as terrorists in your show Quantico #Respect 🙏🏻

Apparently, the latest episode of Priyanka Chopra’s #Quantico depicts Hindutva terrorists staging an attack in Manhattan to frame #Pakistan.
And Modi Bros are throwing a collective hissy fit.
Absolutely hilarious!

This is how Priyanka Chopra repays us for making her top Bollywood star- by not protesting against Hindus being shown as terrorists in serial Quantico starring her in lead role. Shame on you #PriyankaChopra #BoycottSamsung until they remove her from brand ambassador post
