Chopra has been making it big in the Hollywood scene, and she recently opened up about her ABC TV series breaking the stereotypes of Bollywood actors abroad.
Chopra recently revealed that she thinks “Quantico” broke the stereotypical image that many have about Indian cinema and actors abroad. When asked whether the stereotypical image of Indian actors is breaking in Hollywood, Chopra told Times of India, “That’s what I did in ‘Quantico.’”
“Did you see me doing the stereotype of India part in that, even in ‘Baywatch’ I am not. I will never be the stereotype of what people think India should be,” said Chopra. “I feel that we can be anything. Today India is the youngest country in the world and our youth is empowered with being able to do and be anything they want in any part of the world. So we should not be told that you can’t do something.”
Chopra continued to question those who categorize actors on their ethnicity, saying, “Why is it not cool to be an Indian? Why can’t an Indian girl who is from Indian descent be an FBI girl who kicks a**? So I was very clear about that.”
“I went to school in U.S. and I saw the stereotype, not just U.S. but the western world has for hindi cinema, even today there is no one to look like us,” continued Chopra. “So for me it was very important.”
