The Singapore branch of Madame Tussauds museum on Wednesday unveiled a live-like wax structure of Kajal Aggarwal, who is a top actress in the South Indian film industry.
The 34-year-old actress debuted in the entertainment business with a Hindi movie titled “Kyun! Ho Gaya Na” in 2004 but later, the actress made a shift to the Tamil and Telugu movie business.
With her wax statue, Kajal has become the first actress from the south Indian film industry to make it to a Madame Tussauds museum.
She took to her Instagram to share the picture of her petite wax figure with a long, overwhelmed caption.
It was in December 2019, when Kajal, who has featured in nearly 54 projects, first revealed that she was being waxified at Madame Tussauds. The actress has shared moments of her measurements being taken for her statue on social media.
Kajal’s fans took to Twitter to congratulate the Filmfare-award winning actress on her achievement. #KajalMadameTussauds is trending on Twitter in India.
