Priyanka Chopra has become the first Indian star to enter the Forbes list of highest paid television actresses in the world, after starring on American series "Quantico".
Priyanka ranks eighth in the coveted list, which has retained American actress Sofia Vergara at the first position fifth year in a row.
The 44-year-old Colombian-American actress brought home a whooping $43 million before management fees and taxes, but not all came from her hit TV show "Modern Family". Vergara has an impressive array of endorsement deals as well as her line of products.
Back home, the 34-year-old actress has starred in two Bollywood films in the past one year - "Bajirao Mastani" and "Jai Gangaajal"-and will make her Hollywood film debut with "Baywatch" alongside Hollywood heavy-hitters including Dwayne Johnson, the world's highest-paid actor.So Very Sofia??????@AvonInsider Thanks to everyone that came today!!!

Mindy Kaling came up third with USD 15 million, followed by a tie for fourth place between Ellen Pompeo and Mariska Hargitay, who both made $14.5 million.
"Castle" star Stana Katic, who like Priyanka makes a debut on the list, is placed at seventh position. Another newcomer on the rankings is Julia Louis-Dreyfus ('Veep'). Kerry Washington of "Scandal" fame finds herself at sixth position, with $13.5 million earnings. The list comprises 15 highest paid actresses.
While Hollywood has a lot of work to do to close the gender wage gap between actors and actresses, it's not as severe in TV as in the film industry.
The list, which saw Jennifer Lawrence sitting at the top, placed Deepika at the 10th position. Deepika, who shared screen space with Priyanka in "Bajirao Mastani", is like the "Quantico" star, set for her Hollywood debut next year.Here's another exclusive image. She looks surreal, doesn't she? #IIFA2016 -Team DP
