The filming of "Quantico" Season 2 continues, but it looks like the fan-favorite Priyanka Chopra has to stop shooting. The 34-year-old Bollywood actress encountered an accident on the set of the drama thriller that left her hospitalized and with a concussion.

Chopra was doing a dangerous stunt for "Quantico" Season 2 with a guest star when she accidentally and slipped, fell and hit her head on the ground. She was then automatically sent to the hospital to treat her injury and was released on Friday. A representative from ABC told Entertainment Tonight that it was only a minor incident and she was already examined by a doctor and resting home.

The "Baywatch" star's representative, on the other hand, also told the publication that she will return to the set of "Quantico" Season 2 in New York as soon as she had a go signal from her doctor. "She is resting comfortably at home on doctor's orders, and will return to work after the weekend," the star's spokesperson explained. In fact, she was also unavailable to attend the ABC Friday morning press event in New York City because of what happened.

Chopra was set to appear at the said event, but she was no show as the ABC publicists told everyone that she was not feeling well and that happened "last minute overnight." The press people were then assured that the network would reschedule another interview with the "Mary Kom" star before the "Quantico" Season 2's premiere date on Jan. 23.

It has been known that Chopra is bravely doing her own stunts when playing as the FBI agent Alex Parrish. Meanwhile, the "Weeds" alum Hunter Parrish is now joining "Quantico" Season 2 in a recurring role. The 29-year-old "Still Alice" actor will play the role of a political strategist that is forced to collaborate with the CIA and FBI after the G20 hostage crisis took place, Deadline reported.
