After making her Oscars debut, Bollywood actress and Quantico star Priyanka Chopra became the first Indian to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Besides teaching host Jimmy Fallon how to say namaste and a few other words in Hindi, she also challenged him to a chicken wings eating contest.
Chopra spoke about her forthcoming Hollywood debut in Baywatch, as well as her popular TV show Quantico. Yet, the highlight of the episode seems to have been the spicy chicken wing eat-off between Fallon and Chopra, which the Indian actress won quite easily. She confessed to being a food lover, revealing that the first thing she did after flying into New York to film the show was to wolf down a hot dog.
Chopra also talked about attending high school in New York City and winning the title of Miss World at the age of 18. She also took over the show's Instagram account, with a series of teasing pictures about her appearance.
