Internships in same sector - should I be concerned about getting pigeon holed?

I am currently a Junior now and I have been working as an intern at a capital advisory firm that specializes in a certain industry. I recently accepted a summer internship for a financial analyst position at a PE firm in the same industry (not sure if this internship leads to a full time offer). I got the internship from networking contacts at my current internship and background knowledge of the industry but my interest is really in corporate finance/development more specifically.

I enjoy working in this sector but I do want to feel free to explore corporate finance roles in other industries in the future as well. Should I be worried about being pigeon holed into this industry? If so, what should I do now to best mitigate this and broaden my potential job prospects?
