Priyanka Chopra plays one tough government agent on her hit TV series Quantico.

And on Tuesday the 34-year-old import proved she can be tough in real life too.

The actress did not hesitate when Ellen DeGeneres asked her to take a tequila shot during her sit down on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Bottoms up: The 34-year-old actress was told to take a shot of a drink

It was the stunner's first time on the talk show.

And the comedienne broke the ice by asking Priyanka to play a game of Drinko.

The star took the challenge and instead of sipping the strong alcohol, she took it down all at once.

Not holding back: The beauty then threw back the tequila and made a face after

Chopra was asked to do a shot because she took a shot on the red carpet at an awards show recently. Ellen even showed the video. The actress said the shot made her 'wonky' because she hadn't eaten all day.

Then Ellen presented an array of shots and asked the TV star to take one. 

Ellen said she would not drink any because she was 'working.'

After Priyanka took the shot, she made a face and then said it would be a really 'smooth' interview. She added that she prefers red wine because it's 'elegant.'

All done: The looker said she actually prefers to drink red wine

'India loves Ellen,' she added, saying the show airs twice a day in her home country.

When she was 17 she was Miss India. She explained her mother took photos of Chopra at the mall and sent them into the pageant without the star knowing.

At 18, she landed Miss World.

The stunner insisted she wanted to be an aeronautical engineer but when she attended school it was so 'awkward' because she was a beauty pageant winner.

Ellen then said when the beauty got to the US, she was offered Quantico right away, and Priyanka said that was true. 'People were just so excited to work with you,' said Ellen.

Things got tense when Ellen said that Priyanka got roles because she was beautiful and could act. Priyanka said it doesn't happen that often where a woman is both beautiful and talented.

It appeared the Baywatch actress was being far from modest.

So Ellen snapped, 'Yes it does.' Ellen seemed a bit annoyed, saying that she was just complimenting the actress because she had to. But then DeGeneres moved on.

While on the show, Priyanka wore a white lace dress that came in at the waist and had an A-line skirt.

The cover girl wore her hair up in a messy ponytail and red lipstick. 

Also on the show that day was Hacksaw Ridge star Vince Vaughn. Vince made quite the entrance on the show wearing an odd wig.
