After the announcement that Madame Tussauds would open a museum in New Delhi this year, art critics, fans tourists and Indians, especially Delhiites are waiting anxiously for the doors to open to witness the art finesse. This wax statues museum in Delhi will be the 24th Madame Tussauds museum in the world. Visitors will be allowed to click pictures with the celebrity statues at the museum.

The Museum will be located in the heart of the national capital – Connaught Place, and will house in the Regal Cinema which was recently turned into a multiplex. Spread across the first and second floors of the royal Regal Cinema, the Madame Tussauds Museum Delhi, alike its counterparts, will comprise the wax figures of national and international icons.

The final list of all the celebrities to be featured in the Delhi Madame Tussauds museum is not yet declared but it will have Lady Gaga besides the senior Bachchan will be the star attractions according to reports.

Aamir Khan Rejected the Offer

Out of the three Khans who rule the Bollywood industry, two have got immortalised in Madame Tussauds wax museum London. Another Khan – Aamir aka the perfectionist could have completed the Khan trio at the museum, but known for doing things differently, Aamir declined the offer saying that he was not interested in getting immortalised rather he wants people to see him through his films and nothing else. We guess Madame Tussauds Delhi will also not have Aamir Khan’s wax statue.
