Katrina Kaif has lived in
London a major part of her life before being a superstar in
Bollywood. And so, it comes as no surprise that having her own
statue there is something that would be extra special for her. Bollywood
celebrities, who already have their statues there so far, are Amitabh
Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik
Roshan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Madhuri Dixit-Nene. We have exclusively
learnt that Katrina's statue will be unveiled on March 27 in London.
What is unique about Katrina's statue is that while the others are
normally posed standing ones, Katrina will be in an Indian traditional
folk dance pose, with her body at an angle and arms stretched. So we
guess, her statue will require more space than the others as typically
Madame
Tussauds leaves space next to each celebrity, such that their fans can
pose with them in the same pose as the celebrity has done in the statue.
Also, while usually in the past, Madame Tussauds chooses whose wax
statue they would create, this was amongst the few times that they
selected Katrina through an online poll contest, where she
won by a huge margin over her two contemporaries (both of which
surprisingly are big on the social media ). Being asked whether Katrina
could have ever dreamt of having a statue being a London girl, she said,
“Madame Tussauds is a very integral part of London's 'go-to-see'
places. So I don't think one can imagine it also. But when I heard that
they
had statues of Amitji, Salman, Aishwarya, Madhuri and
Kareena, somewhere at the back of your mind you are thinking wow that
would be nice. There are a few things from time to time you don't mind
and having a statue there is one such. Also, three of my sisters live in
London. They have kids there, so it's very special for them. The minute
it was, announced, I got a message on WhatsApp with all of them saying
they are all coming. So they will be there in full attendance. When
it was announced, I came home and high-fived my friends.“ On being
asked about her favourite statue amongst the Indian celebrities
there, she immediately said, “I liked Sachin Tendulkar's statue as it
was very like him.“
