Hrithik
who

parents,
father
Rakesh
Roshan,
mother
Pinky,
grandfather
J
Om
Prakash,
wife
Sussanne
and
their
two
sons,
dedicated
the
honour
to
his
family.
"I
am
thrilled
that
my
entire
family
is
with
me
sharing
this
wonderful
moment.
More
than
the
wax
figure
it's
a
matter
of
emotions
and
pride
that
my
family
is
there
to
see
all
this
today.
It
is
made
up
of
what
I
have
received
from
my
parents,
grandparents,
sister
and
wife.
They
have
made
me
what
I
am.
I
dedicate
this
to
my
family," he
said.
The
Bollywood
star
also
spoke
about
the
first
time
he
visited
Madame
Tussauds
as
a
child.
"I
was
nine
years
old,
holidaying
in
London
with
my
family
when
my
grandfather
and
I
went
to
Madame
Tussauds.
We
had
to
stand
in
line
for
45
minutes
and
while
I
was
jumping
up
and
down
with
impatience
and
excitement,
my
grandfather
waited
patiently."
"I
even
told
him
that
we
should
go
and
come
back
the
next
day
but
my
grandfather
waited
till
we
could
enter
Madame
Tussauds.
Today
I
feel
he's
like
that
excited
child
I
was," said
the
actor.
On
meeting
his
double
for
the
first
time
Hrithik
Roshan
commented:
“I
can"t
believe
I"m
here
in
Madame
Tussauds
unveiling
a
wax
figure
of
myself.
It"s
incredible
just
how
detailed
the
figure
is".
The
star
of
hit
films
including
Kaho
Naa…
Pyaar
Hai,
Dhoom:2,
Krrish
and
Jodha
Akbar…
is
the
youngest
male
actor
from
India
to
be
honoured
by
Madame
Tussauds.
Roshan
was
completely
involved
in
the
creation
of
the
figure
-
attending
two
sittings
in
Mumbai
and
London
where
sculptors
captured
a
catalogue
of
reference
photographs
and
hundreds
of
precise
measurements.
Hrithik
also
donated
the
red
shirt
and
dark
blue
jeans
his
figure
is
wearing.
The
figure
took
four
months
to
make
at
a
cost
of
£150,000
and
joins
fellow
Indian
film
stars
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Salman
Khan
in
Madame
Tussauds
special
Bollywood
area.

the
launch
of
Hrithik"s
new
figure
the

an
update

an
all
