Turning the heads with her appearance on American comedian Stephen Colbert's chat show "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", Desi girl-'gone-international' Priyanka Chopra readily confessed that she does not like the term Bollywood.

The actress nailed it when she came on the chat show dressed in a elegant black dress, a perfect example of how simple and classy can be blended perfectly.

She turned heads with her appearance on the show and her wit did the rest- made everyone clap for her loudly.

While talking to the television host, the 34-year-old said, "I don't think a lot of Indian actors like the term Bollywood because around the world the word Bollywood has been reduced to Zumba class."

"I'm so glad that La La Land has done so well in America because now I think, people can understand that musicals are not just random break out into songs and dance," the 'Quantico' star added.

Priyanka spoke with Stephen as if he was her bro. She stunned him with her answers and proved that she can rise the entertainment quotient of any show just by being herself.

The episode also featured an interview with Thomas Sadoski and stand-up comedy from Pat Brown.

The chat show is one of the funniest TV shows in the United States.

Personalities like Michelle Obama, Helen Mirren, Tina Fey, John Oliver, Chrissy Tiegen, Kate Hudson, Tom Hiddleston have been on the show earlier.
