Vahbiz Dorabajee: I feel that travelling enriches your soul!

Gorgeous television actress Vahbiz Dorabajee has been keeping busy of late. Here, we are not talking about her work and other projects, the actor has been devoting her time on travelling. She recently went to London and Bangkok, where she had the time of her life. “I had actually gone to Europe, London for 20 days and I had gone to Bangkok and Pattaya for 10 days. I have been there before. My family stays in London and Bangkok is where we love to go for family vacations,” she says, adding, “The weather in London is to die for. Bangkok is a little humid but it is amazing enough, it has so many lovely places to visit.”

Travelling has always been one of Vahbiz’s favourite hobbies. “I love travelling, there is so much to explore, there is so much out there to see, all over the world. When we were children, my brother, our parents and I used to go holiday and that is when I developed this love for travelling,” she says.


Travelling helps you grow as a person, says Vahbiz. “I feel that travelling enriches your soul, everyone is so busy nowadays and travelling makes you give time for yourself as well as your family,” she adds.

Ask her what is the next travel destination on her wishlist, and she says, “I don't know actually, it is very spontaneous. But I have heard about some places like Spain, Istanbul, Udaipur, so let's see.”

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
