Ash Dolls Up,Again

Soon-to-be-mother and actor Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan has become the only Indian celebrity to have two wax statues at Madame Tussauds,a famous London wax museum (with branches in Asia,America,Europe and Australia). The former Miss World-turned-Bollywood star’s first statue was installed at the London museum a few years ago,and shows her dressed demurely in sari. The new statue,unveiled a few days ago,has been placed in the Blackpool,North West England,branch of Madame Tussauds,and Ash is present in her Cannes Film Festival 2011 avatar — in an Elie Saab gown and an elaborate bouffant. The second statue has been created for the first Bollywood Travelling Exhibition,where statues,including those of Amitabh Bachchan,Shah Rukh Khan,Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor will be taken on a tour around the world.
