The 44-year-old is the latest Indian film actor to join the A-list line-up at the Madame Tussauds wax museum, which also houses statues of Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
"I am thrilled to be here in Madame Tussauds unveiling a wax figure of myself. It's incredible just how detailed the figure is - they have captured my look beautifully! I feel very humbled to be included alongside other Bollywood stars and some of my personal heroes," Madhuri said in a statement on the museum's official website.
The star of films like "Tezaab", "Ram Lakhan", "Sajan", "Beta", "Dil", "Hum Aapke Hain Koun!", "Dil Toh Pagal Hai" and "Devdas", Madhuri is the sixth Bollywood celebrity to be honoured here at Madame Tussauds and only the second actress, following Aishwarya.
Madhuri was involved in the creation of her figure from the start. She attended a sitting in Mumbai where sculptors captured a catalogue of reference photographs and hundreds of precise measurements to create the statue.
She also donated the exquisite pink sari donned by the wax figure, which took four months to make at a cost of 150,000 pounds. The statue also has around its neck a heavy neckpiece, and the look is complete with the perfect smile that Madhuri is known for.

@Faraz Khan: well,if India,pakistan and bangladesh work together,we will RULE!!! and recently a woman won an oscar for Pakistan
@some one: You were present during her birth?
@some one: "44 years old Madhuri?? She is at least 50!!"
No Shah Rukh, Amir, Slman are 46 and she is a couple of years younger. Juhi is olderand should be 48 this year,
Madhuri and her statue both are awesome and her smile is stylish.
I think most of the people dont understand. read sanjay comment. do they have eidhi statue, no. He has served the humanity far more than any Kareena and Madhuri.
india is projecting its softpower through cultural, academical, professional ways. it helps for indirect influence on world stage. to perform pakistani character in movies / tv dramas / plays, hollywood, europeans or japanese goes for indian actors.
pakistan and pakistanis must need to change their mindset now, so they will have some positive image in this civilised 21st century. its never too late.
@Hataf: It is an noy islamic to have statues.
44 years old Madhuri?? She is at least 50!!
@Someone: "@Faraz Khan: There is a statue of Benazir Bhutto in a museum in London. Google it."
True but he was referring to cultural ambassador not political leader. This article for instance does not refer to Mahatma Gandhi's statue or for that matter even Tendulkar's statue - only that of filmstars.
Real Madhuri is way more beautiful. still a good job ! i wonder how kareena got her statue earlier than Ms Dixit . Madhuri is the a beauty with brain
not a good clone
These Wax statues are marketing gimmicks..to attract south Asian tourists to the visit these places so that owners of that wax statues make money..lets not too excited or disappointed for to have some names included or excluded..its sad that country to whom these individuals dont create such tourist attractions.
@Faraz Khan: There is a statue of Benazir Bhutto in a museum in London. Google it.
At 44, she is like two 22 years oles!
@Faraz Khan: oh you already have one--- Veena Malik
Benazir Bhutto has a wax statue too btw. The only Pakistani i presume!
@Faraz
Dont u remember, majority wants Islamic Pakistan, so statue are forbidden according to Islam or not?
You forgot Kareena. She is also there.
When will Pakistan have such cultural ambassadors, why are we so much behind India in such matters?
Wowww sooo beautiful.... Madhuri looks beautiful :)) and the wax statue is awesome!!!! <3
