Waxed Bollywood Stars at Madame Tussauds


Kareena Kapoor has become the latest Bollywood star to join the brigade of waxed celebs at Madame Tussauds. She will be the only other woman in Bollywood, apart from Aishwarya Rai, to have a wax statue in Madame Tussauds.


Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan was the first Bollywood actor to have a wax statue at Madame Tussauds and seeing the heights he has achieved in his long career, it is not hard to guess why. In fact, Bachchan was the first Asian to have been immortalised in wax. His statues are in London, New York and Hong Kong.

Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai became the sixth Indian and the second Bollywood celebrity to get the honour in 2004. The statue is dressed in a heavily embroidered red crepe chiffon sari wearing a kundan set. Ash also became the first Indian celebrity to have her wax model displayed at the Madame Tussauds Museum in the historic Times Square in New York.

Shah Rukh Khan

It was in 2007 that a life-size wax statue of Shah Rukh Khan was installed at Madame Tussauds. He followed the footsteps of two of the most recognisable Indian stars at the global front.

Salman Khan

If SRK could have his wax statue made, how could Salman be left behind? The very next year, Salman Khan became the fourth Indian star to have a wax replica of him at Madame Tussauds. Though Salman and Aishwarya could not be together in real life, they will always by each other's side at the British museum.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan was the last Bollywood star to get waxed at the museum. He unveiled his wax statue early this year. The wax replica payed homage to one of his most admired roles viz. 'Dhoom 2'. He is the youngest Indian actor, till date, to have his waxwork at Madame Tussauds.
