Readers may know that Madame Tussauds has been making wax figures for over 150 years and that every wax figure takes a period of over four months and a team of 20 dedicated artists. Recently, a lifelike wax statue of Amitabh Bachchan was unveiled in the curtain raiser of Madame Tussauds, which opens in Delhi in July this year. The international branches of ‘Madame Tussauds’ happen to be home to the wax figures of icons like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan and also our Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
