Actor Ranveer Singh unveiled his wax statues at the Madame Tussauds Museum in London recently. The actor took to social media to share a series of pictures of him posing with the statues and expressed his happiness.
He wrote, ‘Growing up, I was fascinated by old photos of my parents alongside some of the world’s most famous & prominent personalities, only to realize that they were wax figures at London’s famed Madame Tussauds. The allure of that mythical museum stayed with me, making it surreal to now have my very own wax figure there. Gratitude fills me as my figure stands amongst the most accomplished personalities in the world. An unforgettable moment, compelling me to reflect on the magical cinematic journey that has led me to this moment.’
In 2019, Ranveer Singh’s wife, actor Deepika Padukone got a wax statue at Madame Tussauds London. As the statue was unveiled, Deepika's family - Ranveer and his parents Jugjeet Singh Bhavnani and Anju Bhavnani as well as her parents Prakash Padukone and Ujjala Padukone – were there to cheer for her from the sidelines.
Deepika shared her excitement at getting a wax statue at Madame Tussauds in London. ‘As a little girl, I was a very curious kid, for me, a little girl, I was a very curious kid, for me, purpose is something that is very important. However, big or small, whatever I am doing in my life, purpose and why we do what we do is very important to me,’ she said in a statement.
‘After I got a call from Madame Tussauds, I thought what is the purpose of this, why are we doing this, or what is it that my fans will remember me for, remember my figure for, what is it that I would like to leave behind, and the cause of mental health is very close to my heart, it is something that I am extremely passionate about. I said that's it, I would like for my fans when they see my figure I hope it reminds them of someone who did something for the cause of mental illness, who worked towards creating awareness and destigmatizing mental illness. I hope that it gives people a sense of upliftment and a sense of hope. I hope that message comes through,’ the statement added.
