Making news as the only Indian actor to present an award at the Emmys, 'Mary Kom' actress Priyanka Chopra managed to attract more than her fans' appreciation with her red ensemble. Speaking in a recent interview, the 'Quantico' actress said her colleagues in the west were always surprised with the crowd she gathers at her shoot every time. "Whenever I am shooting in New York, USA, or anywhere else, massive crowds gather and wait outside the sets. They find that fascinating. They are intrigued by how people find out where I am shooting. I don't know how to explain to them that this is how it works with Indian actors. Our fans are amazing. They love us, and always come to give us that love and support," PeeCee said.

With her Hollywood film 'Baywatch' set for a May release, the actress said she loved playing the villain in the film. "I enjoyed playing an antagonist in this film. The interesting part was that the villain's role was actually written for a man. A role written for a guy, but played by a woman, that was a big win for me. I never like to walk the path of convention. I didn't want to play a sidekick. I was clear about this even when I signed my TV show. I said I am a lead actor, and I am used to seeing my face on a poster. I am never going to settle for less. The same rule applies even to my movies."
