Priyanka Chopra won the People's Choice Award 2017 for the second time in a row. Winning the prize for 'Favourite Dramatic TV Actress', she beat popular actresses like Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Taraji P Henson, and Viola Davis for the award. The 34 year old, who plays FBI agent Alex Parrish in 'Quantico', thanked everyone for the award, saying it has been an "incredible journey" for her.

"Every single woman, that was nominated with me today... All of these incredible actresses were the reason that I joined television. They were the reason that I wanted to be the actor that I am here today, receiving this award and being in the same category as them is just so overwhelming," she said. She also thanked her entire crew and cast, saying, "I am really psyched. Can I do a little wiggle? I am sorry it's the concussion talking... this (award) means the world to me."

Her co-actor in the upcoming 'Baywatch' movie, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and her friend and Youtube star Lilly 'Superwoman' Singh were seen cheering for her. Priyanka bagged her first award in 2016 in the "Favourite Actress in a New TV series" category for her role in "Quantico".
