**Why did she initially turn down the series?**
Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor will soon be seen in a new suspense thriller series titled *Brown*. The series is set to premiere on ZEE5 on June 5. Its trailer was released recently. During a conversation with ANI, Karisma revealed that when she was first offered the role, she had declined it.
