Indian stars at Madame Tussaud's!

Although Mahatma Gandhi was the first Indian to have his wax statue at Madame Tussaud's but Amitabh Bachchan was the first Indian film star to have a statue at Madame Tussaud's Museum.

After an initial survey conducted by the British Tourism Authority to select an Indian film star for a statue, Bachchan polled the largest number of votes among the short-listed stars for the honour which included Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai and Anil Kapoor.






Second,Aishwarya has two wax statues to her credit.
First at, Madame Tussauds in London which was created before her marriage, while her new statue has her post marriage bridal look which is in Times Square, New York.

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is the third leading Indian actor to have his wax twin at UK’s world famous Madame Tussauds museum.


Salman Khan statue stands in a special Bollywood section alongside those of three other great stars - Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.


The bollywood hunk has beat nine other Indian mega stars - including Madhuri Dixit, Hrithik Roshan, Lata Mangeshkar and Abhishek Bachchan, to win a place at the world famous waxworks museum after a public poll conducted last summer. More than 10,000 people voted in the poll to choose the Next Bollywood Star.



Hrithik Roshan, who has hits like “Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai, “Dhoom:2″, “Krrish” and “Jodhaa Akbar”, among others, under his belt is the youngest male actor from India to be honoured by the prestigious Madame Tussauds wax museum.

Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan’s wax figure has reportedly made it to the list of top 10 most kissed statues in London’s Madame Tussauds museum.


Kareena Kapoor’s wax statue at Madame Tussauds


when Kareena posed with her replica, it was pretty hard to identify the ‘real’ Kareena Kapoor.
Initially there were reports that her Chameli look would be used for the statue, but later the authorities decided to go with her Jab We Met look (from the song Mauja Hi Mauja).
