15 January 2008 (Sawf News) - Bollywood hearthrob Salman Khan unveiled his $400,000 life-size wax replica at Madame Tussauds museum in London Tuesday, January 15 Jan. 15, 2008.

The inimitable Khan described his likeness as "absolutely fantastic."

"It has thicker hair and is more muscular than me. Cool," he said.

The museum decided to add Khan's wax figure to its collection after over 10,000 fans voted him the most popular Bollywood star last summer. He was ranked higher than nine other celebrities, including Madhuri Dixit and Abhishek Bachchan.

The brawny star's wax effigy will be put in the museum's New Bollywood area where three other Bollywood superstars reside - Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan.



Before leaving for London, Khan had taken a tongue in cheek dig at the other Bollywood stars who have been similarly honored.

"Very few Indians have the privilege and it feels good to be a part of it. We have Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya, Shah Rukh and I think I am the third most deserving in the museum," said Salman.
