What is even intriguing is the fact that the unveiling ceremony of these statues is said to have been coincided with one of the biggest Indian festivals, Diwali. Recently, as a celebration of the same, San Francisco Madame Tussauds had an official Bollywood launch party where statues of five celebrities which included Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were unveiled.
Superstar or rather Badshah Khan as he is fondly addressed as, Shah Rukh Khan gets his wax statue in a dapper suited look for the San Francisco Museum.
From what we hear, the official Bollywood launch party of Madame Tussauds San Francisco was said to be a rather glamorous event with Bollywood dance troupe Nachle SF performing amidst the wine and dine session that the audiences were invited for.
Aishwarya's father-in-law and a Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan too received this honour during the occasion of Diwali. His wax figure represents the macho aura of the actor as he is dressed up in traditional attire.
Yet another female actor to receive this honour is Kareena Kapoor Khan. As fans went bizzerk clicking selfies with the wax statue, the actress is seen sporting her iconic red saree from the song 'Chamak Challo' from Ra.One.
