Former Miss World and Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai’s wax statue has now joined the new Lights, Camera, Bollywood experience at Madame Tussauds Sydney.

Aishwarya Rai was the first Bollywood actress to have a prestigious Madame Tussauds figure created in the famous London attraction back in 2004.  

Now, her wax statue joins the other Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra who along with Australian cricketer turned film actor Brett Lee feature in a visual and an interactive Bollywood experience at the wax museum in Sydney.

“We’re excited to announce that Aishwarya Rai has joined the Madame Tussauds family and will be here for a limited time only. She is one of the most popular and influential celebrities in India and we know she’ll be a big hit with Bollywood fans,” Mark Connolly, General Manager at Madame Tussauds Sydney told SBS Hindi.
