Zero actor Katrina Kaif has joined the line-up of other Bollywood celebrities at the Madame Tussauds in New York. The first photos of her wax statue have been released on the Twitter handle of the famous museum located at Times Square in New York City.

Katrina Kaif’s glittering debut at Madame Tussauds
In the photos, we see Katrina decked up in a gold sequenced lehenga as she strikes a pose similar to how she does in her many photographs. Her statue is placed next to the superstar of Hindi cinema Amitabh Bachchan and to celebrate Bollywood’s colourful culture of song and dance, the statue seems to be unveiled amidst the performances of dancers dressed in Indian attire.

However, Katrina’s wax statue at New York reminds us of the one which stands in London’s Madame Tussauds along with the other noted Bollywood celebrities. There too, Katrina has been dressed in a glittery lehenga and is made to stand in the same pose as the New York statue.
Madame Tussauds is famous for its figures, crafted with sincere accuracy, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been observed in case of Katrina’s wax figure is what the internet’s verdict is.
Because Bollywood films are known for their elaborate dance numbers, of course the exhibit couldn’t happen without a couple of flash mob performances. On opening day, there were real-life Bollywood dancers doing pop-up performances on top of Big Buses throughout Times Square.
In London, the wax statue of Katrina was unveiled by the actor herself in the year 2015.
The same museum also houses wax statues of other prominent celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift and Lionel Messi.
Workwise, Katrina Kaif last featured in a cameo in ‘Welcome to New York’ and is currently busy with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zero’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’, both of which are scheduled to release this year.
