Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday joined the list of world leaders who have their wax figures at four Madame Tussauds museums in London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok. One of these wax statues was brought to Delhi and the Prime Minister saw it Monday.

In a statement issued by Madame Tussauds on Wednesday, which Modi tweeted, the Prime Minister was quoted as saying, “What can I say? As far as art is concerned, the Madame Tussauds team is exceptional at what they do. What Lord Brahma does normally is what the artists there are doing. Today, I had an opportunity as the prime servant of my people to meet my wax figure.”

The Prime Minister, according to the statement, was “involved in the creation of his figure from the beginning of the process and was pleased with the final results when he came face to face with himself in New Delhi on Monday”.

The wax statue, which was brought to Delhi, will be displayed at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, which already has world leaders like US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Mahatma Gandhi.
