Kolkata June 15 (IANS) Actress Kalki Koechlin says she doesn t do many television shows as she feels uncomfortable being herself onscreen.
I don t do many TV shows because I feel very uncomfortable being myself on screen. I prefer to hide behind my characters Kalki told IANS here on Thursday when asked about the show Kalki s Great Escape.
The episode witnessed actress Kalki and her father Joel Koechlin on a bike journey through northeast India.
I did this because I had never visited northeast and it was a motorbike trip and because I got to spend time with my dad she said.
Asked about her presence on social media where the Dev D actress prefers to talk about her work Kalki said: I am not there to argue about media or other issues which I might not be very well informed about. If I am well informed about something or if it is something to do with my work whether it s theatre or poetry slamming or my films... I am there.
The actress was in the city to launch Gillette Venus Breeze a hair removal product for women.
She said it is important for people to talk about taboo topics such as menstruation and shaving.
It s important. Nobody questions a man shaving so why should it be such a problem for women she added.
