Bollywood actress and Quantico lead Priyanka Chopra has done it again!

She's bagged her second consecutive People's Choice Award winning 'Favorite Dramatic TV Actress' over Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and popular Hollywood face Viola Davis.

Last year, PC, as she's popularly known, had bagged the 'Favorite Actress in a New TV Series' award for her hit ABC show, becoming the first South Asian woman to receive the honor. She plays an FBI agent, Alex Parrish, in Quantico.

An "overwhelmed" PC said in her acceptance speech, "This has been an incredible journey. Every single woman that were nominated with me today, all these incredible actresses are the reason that I joined television."

And her excitement knew no bounds backstage too.

The 34-year-old actress who will soon be seen in Hollywood flick Baywatch, co-starring Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson, later took to social media to thank her fans.

And her fans broke the internet with photos, videos and tons of praise, calling her the "unstoppable" Indian actor.

By morning on Thursday, both she and her show had become the talk of Twitter.
