Popular Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra says auditioning for TV series Quantico was weird for her, but she gave it her best shot.
Chopra, best known for her roles in Bollywood films in films such as Andaaz, Fashion, 7 Khoon Maaf and Bajirao Mastani, was on the chat show Good Morning America and said that Quantico was the first time she had to audition for a role.
“When I picked Quantico as a script, I had to meet them and they had to meet me and I had to do a reading,” Chopra said after saying that auditioning for actors is not common in India.
“I had never been in a stare-out room with seven people sitting there and had to perform. It was such a weird thing for an actor to do,” she added.
The 34-year-old, who plays the role of an FBI agent named Alex Parrish in the show, said: “I mean, I can make a complete idiot out of myself in front of 80,000 people on stage, but that is a moment which is like, my hands are getting sweaty thinking about it.”
“So I talked to myself, completely cliche, in the bathroom before and said, ‘You’ve done 50 movies. What’s wrong with you?’ And I went in there, did my thing, and I got the job,” she added.
