Quantico Star Priyanka Chopra Was Set to Feature on Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” Originally

Sometime in 2013, Queen of the Universe/Quantico star Priyanka Chopra sat down with ABC’s Nightline for an illuminating interview that did violate a few of these key rules of respsonsibly reporting on the star, but also let us in on a fascinating bit of trivia: That she was originally slated to feature as Robin Thicke’s duet partner on his massive hit single that year, “Blurred Lines.”
