London: Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit is the latest celebrity from Bollywood to make an entry in London's Madam Tussuads after Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Tussuads said that they were thrilled to honour the "dazzling dancing star". The actress will be closely associated with the creation of her statue, which will be draped in a Manish Malhotra sari. The actress joins the likes of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor who have been waxed at Tussauds.
"I am really thrilled I am going to be included at Madame Tussauds. It's a real mark of achievement and to be recognised for ones art and work. It's also wonderful to be following in the footsteps of other Bollywood stars and some of my personal heroes! (sic)," Madhuri said in a statement.

The actress, who moved overseas after marrying doctor Shriram Madhav Nene, relocated to Mumbai recently with her husband and two kids.
"The decision to include Madhuri is set to delight Bollywood fans around the world as we are constantly inundated with requests to feature Madhuri.
