MUMBAI MIRROR (July 24, 2018)

Deepika Padukone is the newest addition to Madame Tussauds with her wax figure on its way to the museum in London and Delhi. A team of experts met the actress in London to take over 200 specific measurements and photographs to create an authentic likeness.

“I am so delighted. The sitting with the team was a special experience and I look forward to the incredible figure,” the actor said in a statement. The first figure will launch in London early 2019, while the Delhi figure will follow a few months later.

The Delhi museum currently showcases wax figures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, among others.
