Hrithik Roshan with his wife and kids unveiled his wax figure on 20th<\/sup> January 2011 at London\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Madame Tussauds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On meeting his double for the first time, Hrithik commented "I can’t believe I’m here in Madame Tussauds unveiling a wax figure of myself. It’s incredible just how detailed the figure is – they’ve really captured my look. I’m truly honoured to be included and hope my fans will like seeing the figure."<\/i><\/p>\n

Roshan was completely involved in the creation of the figure. He attended two sittings in Mumbai and London where sculptors captured a catalogue of reference photographs and hundreds of precise measurements. Hirthik also donated the pink shirt and dark blue jeans which his figure is wearing.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

"I am thrilled that my entire family is with me sharing this wonderful moment. More than the wax figure it’s a matter of emotions and pride that my family is there to see all this today.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

Hrithik\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s statue look is taken from his super-hit film Dhoom 2<\/em>. Wax Hrithik is looking great! Hrithik is the fifth Bollywood personality to be honoured at Tussauds. The others bollywood actors who have been honoured are: Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan. <\/p>\n

Sharing a memory HR talks about the first time he visited Madam Tussauds when he was a child. "I was nine years old, holidaying in London with my family when my grandfather (J Om Prakash) and I went to Madame Tussauds.
We had to stand in line for 45 minutes and while I was jumping up and down with impatient excitement, my grandfather waited patiently.
I even told him that we should go and come back the next day but my grandfather waited till we could enter Madame Tussauds. Today I feel he’s like that excited child I was."
Adds Duggu, "The bigger prize is not the wax figure but the effect this moment is going to have for my entire family. It’s a very special moment for me.
It’s a moment that won’t change my life drastically. Life goes on but the wax figure is for posterity for my children." <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
