Mumbai: While the new ABC show Quantico', starring Priyanka Chopra as a trainee FBI agent, continues to make news, we hear that actress Surveen Chawla was also approached by the same network for a show. However, Surveen will not be taking up the offer.

Apparently, the casting team wanted Surveen to commit 20 days for a test shoot, but the actress had already given those dates for Bollywood projects and could not give take out the necessary time.

"Yes, I was approached by an American network to do a pilot shoot for 20 days but couldn't go for it because of other work commitments," Surveen confirmed. "I really feel sad because it was a great opportunity. But I'm sure I will make up for it in future."

Haan but Archie & Mindy are american first, so idk if they really qualify as indian actresses per se. They both are phenomenal, no question! Mindys position is quite rare as is & Kalinda is my fav female character, that says a lot coz women are great on TV right now. Shame they do not give Archie enough to work with & she has to leave.

PC needs to do a few guest star roles to get a feel & to get the public attention while she is @ it imho. & I hope to see more opportunities arise as you said!

Archie Panjabi is British

@ topic: Idk if I believe her...seems a little too good to be true

I think there's more and more interest in Indian actresses after all the great work Archie Punjabi has done. Her fan base is so big b/c of TGW. And of course Mindy Kaling as well. I hope them luck and maybe it can open doors for more Indian women getting lead roles in dramas.

This is true, Archie is very popular on TGW and news of her leaving has left many disappointed. She was my fave on TGW but lately that show has lost its charm

It is good to see more women of Indian descent getting offers
