Actress Katrina Kaif unveiled her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London on Friday.
“It was really exciting when I first heard the news,” she said ahead of the unveiling. “It is something which will be there forever. I have grown up in London for a few years, so it brings back lot of nice memories.”
Madame Tussauds confirmed that the outfit and jewellery her figure is wearing was donated by Kaif.
“This is amazing; it does look really like me” said Kaif of the statue, which took a team of 20 sculptors and artists four months and ₤150,000 (Dh819,499) to create.
Bollywood celebrities including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar have wax statues at Madame Tussauds.
The 31-year-old British-Indian actress was joined at the event by her brother and two sisters.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor’s father has confirmed the couple are living together. “My father gave me space when I moved out after marriage and I give Ranbir his space too when he decided to move out and share a home with his girlfriend. In this house, he had one room: how could that be enough for a 33-year-old boy?”
