SINGAPORE, Jan 18, 2018 - (Media OutReach) - Bollywood superstar Kajol will make her grand entrance at the IIFA Awards Experience in Madame Tussauds Singapore this year.

Kajol is one of India's most successful and highest paid actresses in the 90s and is known for her great work in Hindi cinema. She will be the 7th Bollywood star to join the interactive awards zone in Madame Tussauds Singapore.

"It was an incredible process to have a sitting for my wax figure. It took approximately 4 hours to measure and get all the details. I love knowing that the artists are now working on every tiny detail and I'm so excited to see the finished result in Singapore!" said Kajol.

A group of skilled Madame Tussauds sculpting team specially travelled to Mumbai to meet Kajol and conduct a detailed sitting process. More than 200 measurements were taken, the team also matched the hair and eye colour of the actress to ensure a truly authentic representation of the star.
