Joining the wax brigade: Madhuri Dixit at Madame Tussaud

Actor Kareena Kapoor was the last from the Bollywood fraternity to have been immortalised at the famous Madame Tussauds wax museum. Next in line is none other than the ‘dhak dhak’ girl, actor Madhuri Dixit-Nene, who will join the likes of  Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

Madhuri went on Twitter to share the good news with all her fans yesterday. “Madame Tussaud’s made the announcement and I am confirming it. Will be in London in March to introduce my likeness! Thanks for all ur support,” she tweeted.

She also added, “It’s a real mark of achievement to be recognised for ones art and work. It’s also wonderful to be following in the footsteps of other Bollywood stars and some of my personal heroes!”

An official statement from the Madame Tussauds London said, “The award winning actress Madhuri Dixit-Nene is the latest Indian film star set to join the A-list line up here at Madame Tussauds London. Madhuri has already given a sitting to our sculptors in Mumbai and is expected to unveil her likeness here in March.” They also said that their decision to choose Madhuri was based on all the requests they received about her.

Apparently, Madhuri will be donating a Manish Malhotra saree to be tried on her waxy likeness.
