‘I feel my childhood dream has been realised’: Karan Johar on his Madame Tussauds wax statue
Karan Johar on being the first Indian filmmaker to have his wax statue at Madame Tussauds
April 4 will be earmarked as a special day in Karan Johar’s life. The superhit filmmaker-television host-judge and his mother Hiroo Johar are in Singapore today for the unveiling of his wax statue at Madame Tussauds.
KJo makes history as this is the first time ever that Madame Tussauds will have a statue of an Indian filmmaker. This will feature as a world-renowned attraction alongside other prominent personalities from politics and entertainment.
It’s a known fact that Karan’s talent and career extend well beyond cinema. No wonder, he makes for an exciting and entertaining personality to be added to the other iconic international wax figures. His figurine will not just be launched in one city but will simultaneously head out on a tour across Asia to give his many fans across the world a chance to experience the sight. Moreover, his statue will also provide an exciting interactive opportunity for his fans to get up close and personal with him.
Karan says, “I remember visiting the Madam Tussauds museum with my father when I was all of eight years old. It feels like a childhood dream has been realised. Today, my statue will be a part of this prestigious museum and I am vastly excited and honoured! Just the fact that I can bring my babies one day to this museum and they can see their father standing tall amongst so many illustrious and luminous personalities is the most emotional feeling for me. Waxing eloquent is something I have attempted to do for many years now, but being waxed is an altogether different high.”
