While it seems quite obvious that Tia is content with the very fact that she is doing a prestigious film 'Haunted', an obvious question for her is - 'Didn't she think a conventional romantic outing would make for a better debut?' After all with feelers coming from Vikram Bhatt, there was a good chance of other filmmakers being impressed with her looks as well and offer her something that was probably better.

"I knew this was coming and really, you are not the first person to ask me this question," giggles Tia, "See, what happens in a horror film is that there is much more scope to perform as an artist. It is better than being conventional by getting into a musical romantic outing with other actors."

What also sealed Tia's decision was the fact that 'Haunted' was being made in 3D.

"Once I was told about this, I knew that I was being a part of history being made," perks up Tia, "The fact that 'Haunted' was being made in 3D contributed a lot to my decision making. I knew I had to do this horror flick."

'Haunted' releases all over today.
