The much-awaited wax statue of Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit will be unveiled at London's Madame Tussauds next month.
"Madame Tussauds unveiling on March 7, 2012. See you then," tweeted Dixit, who has moved to Mumbai from Denver to play a new innings in Bollywood.
Known for her natural acting talent and graceful dancing, the 44-year-old is the latest Indian film star to join the A-list line-up at the Madame Tussauds wax museum, which also houses statues of Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
Dixit's statue has reportedly cost £150,000 (Dh870,589) and it was completed in four months by a team of sculptors and experts in hair, make-up and wardrobe.
The actress is remembered for her performances in Tezaab, Ram Lakhan, Sajan, Beta, Dil, Hum Aapke Hain Koun!, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and Devdas.
Dixit bowed out of Bollywood in 2002 when she married US-based doctor Shriram Madhav Nene. Post-marriage, the actress moved to Denver to start a family and busied herself with her husband and two sons.
