Tia Bajpai Breaks Free from Horror Typecast, Prepares for International Spotlight
6 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Tia Bajpai returns to India after relocating to London and Dubai
- Exploring new role in film "Lilly Rose - Chapter 1" beyond her horror genre
- Determined to showcase her versatility and shed "horror girl" image
Tia Bajpai, an actress who has often explored the horror genre, is making a comeback in India to talk about her new film "Lilly Rose - Chapter 1." Tia, who relocated to London and later Dubai in 2018, is determined to shed her "horror girl" image and showcase her versatility as an actress.
In the past, Tia has starred in films like "Haunted 3D" and "1920: Evil Returns," which have earned her a reputation in the horror genre. However, she believes that this new role in "Lilly Rose - Chapter 1" will allow her to be seen as more than just a horror specialist. Tia explains, "If you're good at something, people want more of it. If I've become a go-to face for horror, I'll take it as a compliment. But this role goes beyond anything I've done before. After this, people won't just see me as the horror girl, they'll see me as Lilly Rose, and that's far more terrifying."
Tia's decision to relocate to the UK and later Dubai was driven by her career ambitions. She immersed herself in a new style of acting, refined her English, and studied the vision of international filmmakers to prepare for a global stage. Tia says, "The move to the UK was never just about relocation, it was about transformation. Later, I moved to Dubai, a true crossroads of the world where East meets West. It became more than just a base; it became the center of my international journey."
Despite her international ventures, Tia still carries a piece of India with her wherever she goes, missing the "madness of sets" and the "organized chaos of Bollywood." As she embarks on this new chapter, Tia is poised to captivate audiences with her versatility and her determination to break free from the constraints of a single genre.
