Mumbai (AFP) - Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra hopes her leading role in hit United States television show "Quantico" will help pave the way for other Indian actors to make it big in America.
The former Miss World is blazing a trail as the first Indian lead in a US TV series, playing FBI agent turned suspected terrorist Alex Parrish in the Piya Albela ABC thriller.
"I can only hope that it opens the right doors," the 33-year-old told AFP in an email interview between filming in India for her Bollywood movies and in Canada for "Quantico".
"I truly believe that we have a huge pool of talent in India, which spans actors, directors, technicians and the like, and there is a huge window of opportunity for them to explore outside India," she added.
