Actress Deepika Padukone will be joining the worlds biggest superstars at Madame Tussauds with wax figures in London and Delhi.
The first figure will launch in London early 2019, while the Delhi figure will follow a few months later to draw more attention to tourists and fans of the actress, a statement said.
Deepika, daughter of sports personality Prakash Padukone, made her Bollywood foray with "Om Shanti Om", beginning a journey that has seen her experience a whole lot of success. Known for her savvy style and versatility seen via films as diverse as "Piku" and "Padmaavat", Deepika has also done a Hollywood film "xXx: Return of Xander Cage".
The team of Madame Tussauds expert artists met Deepika in London for the all-important sitting for her figures, where they took over 200 specific measurements, as well as photographs to create an authentic likeness.
"The sitting with the team of experts was a special experience and I look forward to the incredible figure at the attraction," the actress said in a statement.
Anshul Jain, General Manager and Director, Merlin Entertainments India Pvt Ltd, said: "Deepika is an extremely talented actress that Bollywood has seen over the years. Her fan following is huge and is growing across the world. Her beauty has won the hearts of millions across the nation and worldwide.
"We are thrilled to announce her figure at the Delhi attraction. We are certain that our guests will love to see her wax figure."
A wink, and a shy but mischievous smile by Malayalam actress Priya Prakash Varrier in a 28-second clip from a film song has turned the 18-year-old into an internet sensation.
From superstar Aamir Khan to filmmaker Karan Johar and Shilpa Shetty -- Bollywood celebrities shared heart-warming messages on Valentine's Day on Wednesday for their fans.
Actress Alia Bhatt's idea of spending Valentine's Day is not about expensive gifts and mush. She says a weekend getaway with her girl squad and a day out with her pet cat Edward is perfect.
Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji, whose next big screen outing is "Hichki", will be heading to Bengaluru later this month to discuss life's hiccups with spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Married to businessman Raj Kundra, Shilpa has a five-year-old son. At 42, her fit and svelte frame can give actresses of the younger generation a run for their money.
