With Quantico coming to an end, Bollywood and Hollywood actress Priyanka Chopra bid adieu to her character, Alex Parrish, an American of South Asian origin who works for the CIA. PC gained international popularity with this role, becoming the first South Asian to lead an American network drama series. In her recent tweet, PC writes how playing Alex challenged her physically and mentally, and yet it broke many glass ceilings.

“As the season ends, I am saying goodbye to Alex Parrish. As you’ll see, her story will come full circle…and that is the best feeling as an actor. Bringing Alex to life has challenged me physically and emotionally, but even more significant it has (I hope) cracked the door open for female talent and women of color to play leading ladies,” she wrote, adding her gratitude to those who watched every week on the television.
