Double Whammy

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan is so far the only Indian to have two wax statues at Madame Tussauds,London’s popular wax museum. After her first statue in a desi avatar was unveiled at the museum a few years ago,the actress has her second one at the newly opened Madame Tussauds in Blackpool,a branch of the former. Rai-Bachchan can be seen in an Elie Saab gown here and the look has been inspired from her Cannes appearance. The second figure has been made exclusively for the first ever Bollywood Traveling Exhibition,where all the Bollywood statues,including,Amitabh Bachchan,Shah Rukh Khan,Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor will be taken on a six-city tour around the world.
