Priyanka Chopra had got herself into trouble with the plot of an episode of American TV series Quantico. The actress has been facing a lot of criticism from the Indian audience.

Priyanka had to apologize for the episode where the show portrays Indian nationals as terrorists who try to frame Pakistan in a terror plot.

Now, filmmaker-actress Pooja Bhatt has taken to Twitter to support the Quantico actress. She wrote: "When Priyanka Chopra makes a mark for herself internationally, we claim her achievements as our own and then threaten to ban her films and make her apologize for a work of fiction that has been created by someone else. Can we please attempt to be larger than that?"

The Indian fans showered criticism over this episode and seemed to be deeply offended that the actress chose to do such an episode.

After ABC apologised to the audience, Priyanka took to Twitter to apologise to the fans.

I'm a proud Indian and that will never change."
