First Rs 100 crore movie. First scandalous headline. First on-screen romance to spill into real life. There are many firsts that define the career trajectory of a bonafide Bollywood star, and right up there is getting your likeness captured in wax for complete strangers to take selfies with, fooling absolutely nobody on Instagram. And now, after you’re done smizing with Queen Elizabeth and rubbing shoulders with Shah Rukh Khan at the Madame Tussauds in London, you will soon be able to stare at Deepika Padukone’s wax statue, as the actress has just been inducted into the Madame Tussauds Hall of Horrors Fame.
Because the world needs more impossibly perfect beauties, there will be not one but two Deepika Padukone wax statues created, the first debuting at the London outpost in 2019, to be followed by the unveiling of the second statue a few months later in Delhi.
And while Madame Tussauds has assured us that “The team of expert artists met Deepika Padukone in London for the all-important sitting for her figures, where they took over 200 specific measurements and photographs to create an authentic likeness”, history has taught us not to trust this blindly.
Did you see what was done to poor Ranveer Singh?
