Trust Priyanka Chopra to
always come back with a vengeance. After she had us all worried with her on-set
injury last week, Priyanka was seen in action once again at the People’s Choice
Awards 2017. And she not only won the red carpet — obviously, she won her
second People’s Choice Award for Quantico as well. The actor defeated her ABC
counterparts Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson, and Viola Davis
to win in Favourite Dramatic TV Actress award.
Speaking about her injury on
Quantico’s sets, the actor told media, “I was a little nervous… I didn’t know
if I would make it, but I got so bored sitting on my couch for three days.”
While shooting in New York on January 12, she slipped and fell, hitting her
head. She had to be hospitalised after suffering a concussion. “I was supposed
to be saving someone, as usual, Alex Parrish-style,” Priyanka added in the
report, saying, “The doctors said another couple of days and I should be okay.”
She also thanked her fans for sending their love.
However, at People’s Choice red
carpet on Wednesday, Priyanka showed no signs of being under the weather.
Dressed in a peach ensemble by
Sally LaPointe, she said in her acceptance speech, “I am really happy being a
drama queen and this is how it is done… thank you to the people. As everyone
has been saying, it has been an incredible journey. Every single woman who was
nominated with me today, all these incredible actresses were the reason that I
joined television. They were the reason that I am here today, receiving this
award in the same category as them is so overwhelming. Thank you to all who
have accepted me and liked my show… can I do a little wiggle? Sorry, that is
the concussion talking. Thank you and this means the world to me.”
Priyanka’s mother and Baywatch
co-star Dwayne Johnson was among the audience. Priyanka will make her Hollywood
debut with Baywatch in summer this year.
