News : Kareena unveils her wax statue at Madame Tussauds

Kareena Kapoor unveiled her wax statue at the Madame Tussauds museum in Blackpool, Britain on Thursday.

"It is an honour and a privilege for me to have my own wax figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool and even more so to launch a global Bollywood exhibition. This is a moment of pride for the Indian cinema," Kareena said in a statement.

It took four months to create the wax model and it costs around 150,000 pounds. "The figure looks incredible and is so life-like. I had to do a double take when I saw myself - they have really done a superb job at capturing my essence," she added.

The statue will be travelling to six major cities around the world for exhibition before they are brought back to Blackpool in January next year.

Actors like Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were also waxed at the Madame Tussauds museum.
