Kalki Koechlin doesn't wish to play herself on TV

Kalki Koechlin, who will be making her TV debut with the "Kalki's Great Escape" show, says she is very selective when it comes to working on the small screen, as she would prefer "acting in films or doing theatre" over playing herself on TV.

The actress also said she made an exception for the FOX Life show as it allowed her to spend some time with her father Joel, and as the show resonated with her personality.

"I don't do many TV shows because I'd rather be doing films or theatre. I am an actor... I would rather be acting than playing myself on TV. So I don't do TV shows... so this was the time I did since we (she and her father) did this again after many years," Kalki told.

In the show, Kalki goes on a motorbike adventure to the north east with Joel, a biker and photographer. They are seen sharing many experiences during the ride through unexplored terrains of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya. The show will go on air on FOX Life from Saturday.
