The actress gears up for the unveiling of her wax statue at Madame Tussauds,but marriage plans have been pushed forward to late 2012

For Kareena Kapoor,it is going to be “salads in London this Diwali,rather than sweets in Mumbai”. “I will be away from my favourites — besan laddoo,boondi laddoo and kaju katli — but most importantly,away from my family,” says the actress,who is gearing up for the unveiling of her wax statue at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool on October 27. Kapoor will dress up in a traditional Indian sari for the event,designed by Manish Malhotra. “When the museum authorities met me,they said they wanted me to dress up in traditional Indian attire. But this sari is very different from the nets and chiffons I usually wear. It’s a traditional silk sari with ethnic work,” she says.

While other Bollywood celebrities have their wax statues at Madame Tussauds in London,Kapoor’s will be at the new museum in Blackpool,which she will inaugurate. This is followed by a tour of all the Bollywood actors’ wax statues to London,Hong Kong,Thailand,Dubai and Berlin.

She will be accompanied by mother Babita and close friend Reena for the event. “Saif will be shooting in Rajasthan for Agent Vinod and Karisma for Dangerous Ishk,whereas dad (Randhir Kapoor) has some work in Moscow,” she says.

The next months are busy for Kapoor,who returns for a script narration of Milan Luthria’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2 and then shoot for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine from November to April. “Heroine is being filmed in Mumbai,Goa and Paris,and I won’t be doing any other film until I finish this one. The role is going to be mentally taxing with me portraying a schizophrenic character in one of the film’s five phases.”

With ample on her platter,the wedding plans have been placed on the backburner. “As being speculated,the wedding isn’t happening in February. It will happen once Saif and I are done with our current work commitments. Saif wants to be done with Agent Vinod and I want to finish my current lot of films. When we decide on a date,we will announce it to the press,” she says.
