Priyanka Chopra explains her 'scary' concussion at People's Choice

Doing your own stunts comes with its downsides.

Priyanka Chopra suffered a concussion on the set of Quantico last week, and still made it out to the People's Choice Awards, where she's nominated for Favorite TV Drama Actress.

According to Chopra, she wasn't even allowed to use her computer or phone while resting, so instead of hanging out bored at home, she came to the awards.

"As long as I don't do any action and stuff, I'm supposed to be fine," she said on the red carpet, joking that "I'm keeping my neck a little straight, I'm Mr. Robot today.

"It was actually scary. I've never got hurt before on-set while I do stunts, I always do them myself," she said. "This was just a one-off."

So what were the intense stunts? As the actress explained, she really just slipped on the floor.

"I was supposed to be saving someone, as usual. And I was wearing rubber boots, it was raining and there was plastic on the floor, and I flipped on that," she said. "Can you imagine, after all the action I do, that's how I get a concussion?"

In a statement, ABC confirmed to USA TODAY there had been a "minor incident on the New York set of Quantico." It declined to specify what the nature of the injury was pending further information. "Priyanka was examined by a doctor and is home resting comfortably."

On Sunday, Chopra tweeted, "I will be ok" to fans, and thanked them for all of the "warm thoughts and well wishes."
