The actress called TV content regressive and revealed she can't work for 30 days anymore. Talking to Times Now, Kavita said, "TV toh mujhe karna hi nahin hai (I don't want to do TV anymore). I can't do 30 days of work. I am open to doing web shows or movies but I am not a typical looking heroine who can easily get cast in all kinds of shoot. There are only few kinds of roles that suit my personality. I keep getting offered TV projects on dayans like Shaitaani Rasmein. But I can't have the same life I had three years back when I was doing full time television. I am thankful for that phase but I was young and I wanted money. But now, I can't devote that kind of time. In fact, when FIR didn't used to take a lot time yet I would crib."
