TV host Ellen DeGeneres welcomed Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' with tequila. Priyanka Chopra gulped it down and quipped about how Indians love their spirits.

Priyanka Chopra, who found international acclaim with her American TV series 'Quantico', did not hesitate when DeGeneres asked her to take a tequila shot on her show.

After the drink, Priyanka said: "Thank you for that, this will be a really smooth interview."

DeGeneres said: "Yeah! It's good, this will be our tradition now. Whenever you are talking to me or anybody that's connected to the Ellen Show, you do a shot of tequila."

To that, Priyanka said: "I really started believing it was a very American thing, because I was at the Emmy's and it happened again. I was given tequila and I was like 'American Red Carpets have to start with tequila'."

When DeGeneres said "Americans drink a lot", Priyanka commented: "Oh, so, do Indians. Yeah, Indians drink a lot."

"What's the drink of choice in India?" DeGeneres enquired.

Priyanka said: "Well, mine is...red wine. Because it is elegant and appropriate to say on the show. Because it airs in India, twice a day."
