When asked about the buzz around the show in India, she admitted she is under pressure to succeed. "People are excited about Quantico. I hope I live upto all the buzz. I am an actor and I love any form of expressing that in anyway I can. I'd love to that with American TV as the story is great and it is written wonderfully."
