Asha Bhosle unveiled her wax sculpture created by Madame Tussauds Delhi and wants it to be placed between the idols of music icons Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The 84-year-old singing legend said she could not have imagined that London’s celebrated museum will have a branch in India one day.
“I went to London in the ’70s and also visited Madame Tussauds there. At that time, the only Indian figure that was exhibited there was of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s. I could not have imagined that the museum will open in our country someday. When they asked me where I would want them to place my statue, I said I wanted it to stand between the figures of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson,” Bhosle told reporters.

The singer holds a Guinness Book of World record for most single studio recordings. She said the Madame Tussauds’ team has managed to get her every feature right. “I’m really happy and impressed. It’s like looking into the mirror. They have worked really hard. The team made me sits for hours to get every detail right – the hair, the facial muscles, even something as difficult as the eye. They took one whole day to get the eye color right. I did not give them any specifications and they have done a great job.”
