"I have never played an FBI agent. In fact, you will hear me speak in a more American accent than the one that I already have! Because to be a FBI agent, you need to be an American citizen, so it was very important for me to get that right. I had dialect coaching to sound even more American and how much I have laughed! Because I told them in India anyway people think I have an accent, now with Quantico, that’s on some other level. But as an actor you do it, like when I did Kaminey, I sounded so Maharashtrian. For Jhilmil, I had to change my voice completely."

PC did undergo days of rigorous dialect training to get the authentic American accent. As a child she attended an American school and speaking in that accent comes to her more naturally. Going by the promos we can tell that our desi girl is doing a fine job playing an American citizen believably on Quantico. We don't think she needs to worry about what people back home would say about her accent because they would probably be too busy feeling proud for her! Don't yo agree?
