NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today joined the prominent world leaders when his wax figures took up residence at Madame Tussauds branches in Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok.
Modi, 65, had come face-to-face with himself in wax on Monday at a private viewing organised at his 7, Race Course Road residence. That figure will now travel to Madam Tussauds headquarters in London and will open to the public on April 28.
The statue shows Modi, with folded hands in ‘namaste’ style, dressed in white kurta pyjama and cream jacket.
“What can I say? As far as art is concerned, the Madame Tussauds team is exceptional at what they do. What Lord Brahma does normally is what the artists there are doing. Today, I had an opportunity as the prime servant of my people to meet my wax figure,” says Modi in a video posted by Madame Tussauds.
All four figures took the world famous museum’s team of artists four months and cost 150,000 pounds to create. (AGENCIES)
