Madhuri Dixit waxwork for Madame Tussauds

Madhuri Dixit has been revealed as the latest Bollywood star to feature at Madame Tussauds.

The star joins Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor in being immortalised in wax.

"The Madame Tussauds team are so excited about 2012 - and we've got another new figure announcement for you. The next Bollywood star to join Madame Tussauds London will be Madhuri Dixit-Nene. She will be joining the attraction in March 2012," said a statement.

The Aaja Nachle star was chosen as the latest exhibit after Tussauds was inundated with requests from fans of the actor.

"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 one's art and work. It's also wonderful to be following in the footsteps of other Bollywood stars and some of my personal heroes," said Dixit.

The figure is expected to take up to four months to complete. Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan have both made personal appearances to unveil their individual wax figures.
