Her wax figure will make a stunning new addition to the Bollywood area which continues to grow in popularity every year. With so many awards to her name and a career spanning 25 years, she undoubtedly deserves a place at Tussauds.
Speaking about her addition, the actress said, "I am really thrilled that I am going to be included at Madame Tussauds. It's a real mark of achievement to be recognised for ones art and work. It is also wonderful to be following in the footsteps of other Bollywood stars and some of my personal heroes!"
Today we're singing and dancing to the famous song 'Ek Do Teen' from Tezaab. The song that gave India and Bollywood's pride, Madhuri Dixit, a global recognition. The song that proved that she was here to take on the centre stage and become one of the most talked about actresses to emerge out of Indian cinema. What followed next was something that even Madhuri herself would not have dreamt of.
That was then but this is now - Madhuri Dixit-Nene is next in line to join the A-list line of Bollywood stars at Madame Tussauds London. Now you know why we're singing and dancing? Mads (as we love to call her) has already given a sitting to the sculptors in Mumbai and is expected to unveil her statue come March in London.
To ensure total authenticity, Madhuri will be closely involved in the creation process, collaborating with the Tussauds team to agree on the pose and even donating a Manish Malhotra saree for her figure to wear. Her hair will flow loosely over her shoulders, styled to show off her long tresses to full effect.
The figure will cost 150,000 GBP to create and take a team of sculptors, hair, make-up and wardrobe experts four months to create.
Well, all we are waiting for is the creation now Mads! So, get ready to witness the longest queue this summer in London outside Madame Tussauds, and if you aren't in the queue, then book your tickets to London right away. Mads we love you!
