Apart from her acting prowess, Priyanka is also well known for her contributions as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Priyanka has officially become a regular star to register with Forbes and has an interesting bio on the site. "Chopra and is arguably the most successful Bollywood actor to cross over to Hollywood," it reads and goes on to add: "As the star of ABC's
Quantico, she's one of TV's highest-earning actresses and the first Indian actor to lead a drama series on American television." Yes, that's true. Priyanka debuted on Forbes list of top 10 Highest Paid TV Actresses in 2016 and
returned this year, ranking at #8. Priyanka has won the People's Choice award twice for her portrayal of Alex Parrish in the ABC series. She made her Hollywood debut with this year's

Priyanka was at number #7. Priyanka, with earnings of $10 million, was the only other female star along with Deepika Padukone to have made it to the list.
Priyanka Chopra's fan frenzy back home and popularity in the West can be credited to her jam-packed schedule round the year.

Quantico and is also looking forward to the release of her next Hollywood movies
Isn't It Romantic? and
A Kid Like Jake.
