Parting is such sweet sorrow, as some English guy once wrote. And so it is for Priyanka Chopra, who became a worldwide sensation through her portrayal of FBI agent Alex Parrish. She was the first South Asian to headline a major American network drama.
"Quantico" was the vehicle for Chopra’s People’s Choice Award as Favorite Dramatic TV Actress in 2017, a reflection of her vast popularity.
She took to Twitter tonight to bid farewell to her legions of fans.
"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 been challenging physically emotionally, but even more significant it has (I hope) cracked the door open for female talent and women of color to play leading ladies.
Thank you for opening your homes and hearts to me every week! Thank you to the cast and crew of #Quantico for being such an amazing team to work with, for all the memories that I will cherish.. memories of laughter and learning new things, of making friends for life.
It was a pleasure working with each and every one of you, and I look forward to crossing paths again!"
