Amitabh Bachchan’s Wax Statue in a Hurry and Fall in a Chaos

Amitabh Bachchan, a legend of Bollywood, was honored by the Madame Tussaud's wax museum as they made a wax statue of this legendary figure of Bollywood. The museum is famous for the wax statues of famous persons in the world. So, it was a great honor for both Big B and Indians. However, the statue was brought to India and was shown at the ceremony of Filmfare Award in 2001. As this statue needs a great care and need to be kept in a frizzing temperature it was kept to AMitabh Bachchan’s posh KBC office at film city, however, now it has been replaced to somewhere else. I have gone through a Mumbai Mirror report on this news. The report says:

Since then the statue found permanent residence in Big B's posh KBC office at Film City, where he kept it along with his other possessions. Needless to say, the statue was high-maintenance. Fifteen air-conditioners had to be kept on at a steady temperature 24/7, all through six years to conserve the wax statue in hot and humid Mumbai. In fact, during the 26/7 deluge in 2005, the first thing that staff of KBC's office had to worry about was the well-being of the statue as it would have been ruined if the office had gone down under.

However, things are different now. The vagaries of life have caught up with both the statue and its master. Now, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to sit on the chair that AB once occupied on KBC. Allegedly, AB was none too happy about this. And soon after he got news of his replacement, he got his KBC office cleared.

Samir Nair, CEO, Star Entertainment India, says, "Mr. Bachchan got his KBC office cleared some time back. He took away his statue, along with the rest of the clutter in the office."

A source close to Big B says, "The statue is very dear to him. Although Mr. Bachchan is used to compliments and admiration, the statue is a gesture that touched him. The statue is now at Jalsa. But it's not on display.

It seems that in the way this symbol of pride will be destroyed one day. Rather I think it is better to send it to its previous place Madame Tussaud's wax museum where many visitors will be able to see the pride of India.
