On Sridevi's birth anniversary on Tuesday, Madame Tussauds Singapore dropped the best news for fans of the legendary actress. Sridevi will be honoured with her first ever wax figurine at Madame Tussauds Singapore, which will be unveiled in September this year. In a tweet on Tuesday, the coveted museum tweeted to announce that Sridevi's wax figurine will be an "exclusive addition": "As a tribute to the Bollywood icon, we are pleased to announce that we will be launching her wax figure in early September this year! Her figure is one of its kind in the world, and it's an exclusive addition to Madame Tussauds Singapore!"

Meanwhile, Sridevi's filmmaker husband Boney Kapoor thanked Madame Tussauds for honouring the actress posthumously: "I am touched that Madame Tussauds is honouring my wife, Sridevi Kapoor, and her work by having her figure immortalised. I, along with my family will be a part of the occasion when the figure is unveiled in Madame Tussauds Singapore at the Ultimate Film Star Experience.
