Legendary singer Asha Bhosle unveiled her wax statue at the Madame Tussauds museum in New Delhi on Tuesday. Ms Bhosle tweeted a couple of pictures from the event and wrote, "Unveiling my wax figure at Madame Tussauds."

"Thank you to Madame Tussauds and my fans for considering me for this incredible honour. Having a wax figure is a completely ecstatic feeling and it's a new experience for me. This is the first time I have undergone a sitting and I must thank them for making it a unique and exciting experience," the 84-year-old singer said.

Madame Tussauds is a 'one-of-a-kind' attraction and is a rage across the world and I am looking forward to the launch and opening in Delhi," Asha Bhosle told IANS.
She reached Delhi on Monday and updated her itinerary on Twitter.

Asha Bhosle made her debut as an actress in the 2013 film Mai.
