Mumbai : Bollywood star Ranveer Singh, who is known for ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Gully Boy’, unveiled his two wax figures as he visited Madame Tussauds London.
He was accompanied by his mother, who, as a child, first introduced the actor to the world of Madame Tussauds London by showing him album pictures of her own visits to the attraction.
The London figure pays homage to Ranveer’s culture and heritage with the neon sherwani designed by Manish Arora as part of his wedding celebrations.
The outfit includes hundreds of individually sewn embellishments and flamboyant leopard head shoulder detail, tied together with a triple-layered diamond and pearl necklace, and eight large gemstone set rings.
“My mother originally told me about Madame Tussauds when I was a child. I’ve been fascinated by Madame Tussauds, a mythical and magical place, since I was a small child, and it’s amazing to see how life unfolds there. Ranveer remarked, “What an amazing moment it is for me to be here with my mother, launching my own figure at Madame Tussauds London.”
It’s a really proud moment for my family and me. Being in such prestigious company feels truly amazing, as Madame Tussauds is an attraction that celebrates excellence in each of its fields. Having your figure there is a significant achievement. I feel incredibly grateful, content, modest, and proud.
Andre Timmins, Co-Founder of the IIFA, said: “It is so exciting for IIFA to be a part of this unveiling for Ranveer’s Madame Tussauds’ figure launch as it was at the 2011 IIFA Awards, Toronto where he won his first Best Debutant Award and on stage said that this is just the beginning.
“Like IIFA, it truly was just the start of a soaring career, and we are proud as a brand to have been able to take an icon of Indian Cinema and the fraternity to such new heights, with global recognition, and such as being honoured at Madame Tussauds London.”
