ACTRESS Katrina Kaif has unveiled her brand new wax figure at Madame Tussauds London this week.
The star becomes the seventh Bollywood actor to be honoured with a figure at Madame Tussauds. Her inclusion has a special significance as she was voted for by fans, just as Amitabh Bachcahn was in 2000.
Katrina, who collaborated closely with the Madame Tussauds artistic team to ensure total accuracy, was delighted with the figure, which is portrayed in a dancing pose wearing a beautiful sequined white, silver and gold, two piece outfit by Manish Malhorta.
Katrina said: “It’s an amazing honour to be asked to be featured alongside icons of the Indian film industry.
“I have really enjoyed working with the team and am delighted with the end result. I can’t believe how detailed and accurate it is. It is just like looking in a mirror in 3D.”
Madame Tussauds London’s general manager, Ben Sweet, said: “We have a long and strong relationship with the Indian film industry and our Bollywood figures are hugely popular with guests.”
The Bollywood factor has spread worldwide with a number of Madame Tussauds attractions around the world featuring Indian film stars.
