The New York branch of Madame Tussaud's is all set to welcome a special guest on India's Independence Day and it’s none other than actor Aishwarya Rai’s (bachchan) wax statue, who's on loan from Madame Tussaud's London for six weeks.
It took three days for the New York staff to get her wax figure ready for display after it was shipped from London.
As finishing touches were being applied a day before the unveiling, the museum has already heard from eager fans in the US.
“It’s very exciting. We have already started to hear from fans anxious to see Aishwarya Rai, knowing that she is only here for a limited time. So, they want to come within the next couple of weeks just to make sure they get a glimpse of Mrs Aaiswarya bachchan,” Marketing Director, Madame Tussaud's New York, Rosemary A Preta said.
Mahatma Gandhi has been the only Indian figure on display until now at Madame Tussaud's New York. The museum expects to add to its Indian collection after seeing the enthusiastic response to the Aishwarya Rai display.
On August 15, Aishwarya’s wax figure will be unveiled, fittingly enough, with a lot of song and dance – a group of Bollywood actress and dancers will escort Ash to her temporary digs in the Big Apple.
