She returned to India and entered the Miss India contest. She went on to win the "Miss World" title in 2000. She entered Bollywood and after some inconsequential roles blossomed out into a top star. She got her break in American showbiz with the main role in the TV serial "Quantico." There was no looking back for her after that, and now she has cemented her place in American TV and films.
