Priyanka, who appeared on the show for the third time, said playing Holi with Fallon was fun and made her a "little less homesick". She tweeted, "This was so fun Jimmy Fallon my favourite part besides your shocked face after I got you with a big blob of face paint, was The Roots playing Rang barse."

The Quantico star added, "And a happy Holi to you too Jimmy Fallon...I am a little less homesick now! I got you good... again!"

Fallon also took to Instagram to share the image with colours splattered over his face, with the caption: "Happy Holi".

The actress then celebrated the festival with her friends and family in her New York apartment. She tweeted: "Happy Holi with the family and team. The white in my house is all colourful now! Nyc Holi homesick."

Priyanka will make her Hollywood debut with "Baywatch" this year.
