Popular actress Katrina Kaif has become the latest Indian star to join the Bollywood line-up at the UK's prestigious Madame Tussauds.
The British-Indian beauty unveiled her 150,000-pound life-size wax statue and joined the new Bollywood setting as part of the popular wax-work museum's "15 years of Bollywood" celebration.
After coming face-to-face with her wax model, 31-year-old Katrina said: "This is amazing it does look really like me."
"Our world famous sculptors have worked closely with the Indian film industry over the last decade, and we now have a stellar line-up in a specially created Bollywood area - one of the most popular in the attraction," Madame Tussauds, hailed as London's premier tourist attraction, said in a statement.
Katrina, born to a British mother and Kashmiri father, was picked after she went head to head with competitors Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone to win a hotly-contested online poll last year conducted by Madame Tussauds, together with Panjab Radio, in which over 225,000 votes were cast.
She has become the seventh Bollywood actor to be honoured with a figure at Madame Tussauds London and joins the league of actors like Amitabh Bachchan (2000), Aishwarya Rai (2004), Shah Rukh Khan (2007), Salman Khan (2008), Hrithik Roshan (2011) and Madhuri Dixit-Nene (2012).
