I'd rather be acting than playing myself on TV: Kalki Koechlin

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 media.
