Here’s how Mira reacted on Shahid getting a wax statue at Madame Tussauds

Two days back, actress Deepika Padukone announced via Facebook live that she is getting immortalized at the famous Madame Tussauds museum in Delhi and London. While we were still rejoicing over her news, Deepika’s ‘Padmaavat’ co-star, Shahid Kapoor, too shared a picture, thereby announcing that he is getting a wax statue at Madame Tussauds too.

To know what the actor and his family felt after he received such a great honour, DNA got in touch Shahid Kapoor, to know it all. When the leading daily asked the ‘Udta Punjab’ actor about his family’s reaction, he said, ” I didn’t inform anyone in my family except Mira (Rajput). When I posted the picture, everyone was like, ‘You didn’t tell us about it ’ (laughs). The team didn’t want me to talk about it for some time, so I was waiting for them to give me a go ahead. It happened around two months ago. Now that my mom knows, she is really happy.”

Further, when he was asked to elaborate on wifey Mira’s reaction, Sasha added, “She was extremely happy and wanted to know more about the process. So, when they were taking my measurements, I was on FaceTime with her. They had 50 shades of eyeballs and hair. They laid them out to check which one was closest to mine. Mira was curious to know, so I was showing her how they put 150 dots on my face, made me stand still and took pictures with 2D as well as 3D cameras. She was quite fascinated.”

Keep an eye out. Coming soon.

Speaking about Mira’s role while finalising his wax statue look, the actor revealed, “They sent options for the pose that I could go for. Mira took the final call on that.”

Though he would like his statue to be placed next to someone accomplished, if given a choice, Shahid would want a corner of his own in the museum. The actor said, “If I’m placed next to somebody, it will definitely be someone who’s way more accomplished than me. So I’d just ask them to give me a corner of my own (smiles). Honestly, I’d like to be featured with people who are from my generation because I think that would be appropriate. Varun is the closest, so maybe they should put us together somewhere. I think our statues should be high-fiving each other (laughs).”
