Priyanka Chopra doesn't fool around when it comes to eating chicken wings! The "Quantico" star appeared on Thursday's episode of NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and absolutely destroyed the host in a chicken-wing eating contest.
Chopra, who shot to international fame after bagging the lead role as FBI agent Alex Parrish on the ABC show, squared off against Fallon to see who could devour the most tobacco-laced Atomic chicken wings within 20 seconds. The Bollywood actress managed to scoff down three, while Fallon couldn't eat more than one.
"I couldn't even do one," Fallon said after the contest. "My first wing was a big chunky one, I couldn't."
"Excuses, excuses," Chopra said as she gasped for air.
Perhaps, Fallon will think twice next time before challenging anyone to a spicy food-eating contest, especially when the individual hails from India, where spices are an essential ingredient.
The first thing Chopra did once she landed in New York was eat a hot dog. "I landed from Miami this morning to come for the show," she told Fallon. "And the first thing I did was have a hot dog at a hot dog stand with everything: relish, mustard, ketchup, everything."
Chopra recalled her high school days at Robert F. Kennedy school in Queens and expressed her love for New York food, including "Atomic Wings" and their "nuclear" sauce. "I'm Indian; it's all about the spice," she said.
During the episode, the actress also got Fallon to say a few words in Hindi. "Namaste, aap kaise ho India!" Fallon said, which. when translated, means "Namaste, how are you India!"
Wearing a chic black dress, the 33-year-old also spoke about winning the Miss India and Miss World beauty pageants and her Hollywood silver-screen debut in the upcoming film adaptation of "Baywatch," in which she plays a villain alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Zac Efron.
Chopra took home the People's Choice Award for Best Female Actor in a New Television Series category for her role in "Quantico," which ABC renewed for a second season. The actress revealed on the show that she would be returning to the series in season two, the official confirmation of which she received while she was getting dolled up for Fallon's show.
