The 44-year-old is the newest Indian film actor to sign up for the A-list line-up on the Madame Tussauds wax museum, which also houses statues of Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
“I am thrilled to be here in Madame Tussauds unveiling a wax figure of myself. It’s incredible just how detailed the figure is – they have got captured my look beautifully! I BELIEVE very humbled to be included alongside other Bollywood stars and a few of my personal heroes,” Madhuri said in an announcement at the museum’s official website.
The star of movies like “Tezaab”, “Ram Lakhan”, “Sajan”, “Beta”, “Dil”, “Hum Aapke Hain Koun!”, “Dil Toh Pagal Hai” and “Devdas”, Madhuri is the sixth Bollywood celebrity to be honoured here at Madame Tussauds and only the second one actress, following Aishwarya.
Madhuri was concerned about the creation of her figure from the beginning. She attended a sitting in Mumbai where sculptors captured a listing of reference photographs and hundreds of precise measurements to create the statue.
She also donated the exquisite pink sari donned by the wax figure, which took four months to make at a value of 150,000 pounds. The statue also has around its neck a heavy neckpiece, and the look is complete with the easiest smile that Madhuri is understood for. – IANS
