Hi, I recently visited Tussauds Wax Museum in London, wanted to share few random thoughts. First of all let me share the Tussauds shocking but interesting history.Madame Tussaud was present in the age of French Revolution... She was working for a famous famous wax model artist in France. During the french revolution, as you always know lot of English Aristocrats ( Royal people, for others do u remember Scarlet Pimpernel novel in our High School English subject) were slaughtered, and Madame Tussaud was given the work for preserving wax model heads of famous English royal people. And thts how the begining of the worlds most famous entertainment empire was formed. Madame Tusaud learnt the art and started modelling famous people in wax. Beleive me or not we waited for more than 2 hours in 'Q' in London to enter the world famous wax museum.
Indian Connection.
As usual I was really excited to see the real life like wax statues of celebrities. I did have eye on one beautiful girl with black hair, but it sadly ended with just I was seeing her, but she wasnt bothered to see me back. When I entered, It was a real surprise as we cudnt distinguish wax statues with other people. and there was one statue of a girl with a camera in her hand trying to photograph Will Smith wax model, my friend and I were constantly trying to move away from her focus and apologising for obstructing her view, but finally we were laughing at each other as it was a wax model of a common girl with a cam trying to picture a wax model. Hats off to the tussauds team to come up with such exciting themes.
Now coming to the point, we were really surprised to see the amount of Indian idols ( No not the reality shows pls) starting from Ash, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman , Shah Rukh, Sachin, Gandhi Ji, Indira Gandhi Ji.. Wow .. my god , I realised the level of importance Indians have, hats off Indians wh0 have made us proud and made an impact in the whole world. There are really lot of people famous in the whole world but still an representative sample like Tussauds have an percentage of Indians really speaks of us.. I am not a patriot or something.. I really dont like most of the things happening in India. but still i really wanted to acknowledge this...
