LONDON: Filmstar Salman Khan unveiled his life-size wax replica at the famous wax works museum Madame Tussauds here on Tuesday making him the fourth Bollywood celebrity to be featured in the must visit premier tourist spot.
“It is absolutely fantastic”, said a visibly excited Khan, who has starred in over 50 Bollywood movies, while describing his likeness to the statue.
“It has thicker hair and is more muscular than me,” said the 43-year-old hearthrob who stood tall inside the prestigious museum and surrounded by fans.
Salman said “very few Indians have the privilege and it feels good to be a part of it. We have Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya, Shah Rukh and I think I am the third most deserving in the museum.”
The Bollywood hunk was sized and photographed in Mumbai for the 400,000 USD wax replica, which took five artistes 12 weeks to create. Salman was one of the first Bollywood stars to stress on fitness and a muscular body form.
Actaully he sounded sooo snooty, I was listening to it over the radio and he was like 'Now I'll have competition' and 'I should have been here earlier', the guy needs to knowcked down a peg or two
Salman said "very few Indians have the privilege and it feels good to be a part of it. We have Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya, Shah Rukh and I think I am the third most deserving in the museum."
