TOI:Chose to stay away from THE SERIAL-Kritika

A Lost Boy Productions' The Serial is set to make its debut on Channel V very soon and the star cast boasts of impressive names. Although the promos show petite actress Kritika Kamra(currently seen in Kuch Toh Log Kahenge), she's not a part of this youth based show.

The Serial is a fictionalized show that takes real life incidents from the lives of TV stars including producer Vikas Gupta's good friend and actorKaran Kundra and others like Vikrant Massey, Soumya Seth, Pooja Gor and Raj Singh Arora.

Although Kritika appears in the promos along with former boyfriend Karan Kundra, she will not be a part of The Serial. Says Kritika, "I want to make it clear that I am not a part of The Serial. I shot a pilot very long back and initially was supposed to be a part of the show but concepts changed. Also earlier there were different people."

Adding, "There's no particular reason as to why I am not doing the show. I just chose to stay away from The Serial but all the people in it are really close to me and they are my good friends. I also know the promos that have my footage won't be misused. I have full confidence in them".

Talking about the show she adds, "I know references will be used. But it's not a Bigg Boss. There are incidents taken from people's personal lives. It's about being yourself. I don't know if it's wise, but it's a new format. Something that has never been done before. All the actors who are in it have agreed to the concept. It's looking really nice and the promos that carry my footage are old".
