As the show prepares to premiere in India on Oct. 3, a countdown of sorts has begun, with well-wishing Bollywood celebrities announcing the number of days left before the show will air in the country of Chopra’s birth:

The run-up to Quantico is not the only recent example of the film industry coming together—but it’s a less controversial one than the recent gathering of star support around actor Salman Khan, who was accused of killing a homeless man in a drunk driving hit-and-run incident, and sentenced to five years in jail in May.

The goodwill toward Chopra may also be helped by the largely positive reviews she has received so far. The New York Times wrote:

The strongest human asset in “Quantico” is Ms. Chopra, a Bollywood superstar and former Miss World who is immediately charismatic and commanding amid the otherwise generic ensemble. If there’s a problem with her casting, it’s that she may come across as too seasoned and assured to be persuasive as a shaky, neophyte recruit.

And Variety wrote:

With an arresting lead in Priyanka Chopra, a former Miss World who was born in India, the show races through a lot of material very quickly, which makes it difficult to get a firm handle on where all of this might settle.
