    Priyanka Chopra arrives at The 88th Oscars® at the Dolby® Theatre in Hollywood, CA on Sunday, February 28, 2016.
    Priyanka Chopra

    Few of us would have thought that a Bollywood actress would one day be on the Academy Awards red carpet in Hollywood,  coolly bantering with an HBO Asia reporter – in Hindi! The full of surprises Priyanka Chopra who’s pulled off so many tough things from beauty queen to Bollywood superstar to pop performer to super model to the lead in a hot new TV series,  is capable of doing just about anything. Yes, even playing  two vastly different women from different eras and time zones at around the same time – the smart, fiery ass-kicking FBI agent Alex in ‘Quantico’  and Kashibai, the gentle, gracious Maratha Queen of Baji Rao Peshwa.

    As she says, “Own who you are, own your roots. We are amazing – we come from Asia!”

    She’s got lots of other surprises up her sleeve – so just you watch!  Check out the video!

    Priyanka Chopra at the Oscars: Asians need to “represent”The lovely Priyanka Chopra stopped by for a chat with HBO Asia at the #Oscars red carpet. Janet Hsieh bantered with her in Hindi, and the Quantico star offered her advice to Asians who want to break into Hollywood. Catch up on this year’s notable Oscar moments here: http://bit.ly/1LPtC8T
