She’s the newest (and youngest) Bollywood personality at Madame Tussauds. Kareena Kapoor has now joined Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan at the world-famous wax museum. In an interview she was asked about her thoughts on being immortalised in wax, and she replied, “It’s a great feeling! I’m immortalised now, which is scary yet very, very exciting!” What was her first reaction on seeing the statue?
“I was stunned. They’ve done such a fantastic job. Even the absolute minutest details like my fingernails, toenails, even the texture of my skin, is so exact. It’s amazing.” Did she ever imagine she would be one of the famed wax figures someday? “I visited Madame Tussauds often as a kid, but I never thought that I’d be one of the figures in it someday… now I truly believe in dreaming big, because dreams do come true.” That one person whose statue she would like to see next to her?
“I would love my sister Karisma’s statue next to mine. I’m not complete without her.” Is she happy with the ‘Jab We Met’ look that she’s now immortalised in? “It was clear from the beginning that we’d go for a traditional look. Jab We Met being an iconic film of this generation, what better outfit than that of the song ‘Mauja Hi Mauja’. It was loved by everybody and became a fashion statement of its own.”
