Sporting a bouffant and a lavender dress with nets and tiny ruffles, the life-sized statue is as close as it gets to the real life Ash. It is, in fact, much better than Ash's first wax figure.

The actress made similar appearances at this year's Cannes Film festival in soft make up and an array of designer gowns.

The wax figure is placed next to Amitabh Bachchan's wax figure, the actress's father-in-law.

The Big B became the first living Asian to have a statue at Tussauds when his first wax figure was installed in the reputed museum back in 2000.
