Priyanka starrer 'Quantico' shows a Hindu terrorist, Indians aren't happy
What's the story
The latest episode of Priyanka Chopra starrer 'Quantico' has not been received well by the Indian fans.
Titled 'The Blood of Romeo', the episode featured a plot twist involving a Hindu terrorist.
Soon after it aired on June 1, some Twitter users slammed the makers for portraying India as a terrorist country. And, rightly so.
The makers did cross the line, this time.

Fans did not spare Priyanka either, for right reasons
Venting out his anger, Madhvendra Kumar wrote, "@priyankachopra shame on u. Describing Indians as terrorists in #Quantico You should oppose them. Sometimes I don't understand being proud of being an Indian or shy because Indians only insult Indian."
"I don't follow #Quantico, and after seeing what @priyankachopra has shown (India planning a Attack and blaming Pakistan).. are you serious??" said Aayush Kothari.
Really, what were you thinking, Ms. Chopra?

Here's what the episode showcased
The latest episode had an MIT professor stealing Uranium 235 from his institute's premises.
As this happens just days before an India-Pakistan peace summit in New York, the FBI suspects a nuclear explosion.
While investigating about the same, Priyanka's character finds a rudraksh on one of the terrorists, which implies that the attack is being planned by a Hindu nationalist to frame Pakistan in a nuclear attack.
