The global Bollywood superstar is now part of a limited-time showcase that’s running until the end of January 2026 as mentioned on their official website. Blink, and you’ll miss it. The figure features Deepika in her unforgettable 2016 IIFA Awards gown, a look that still lives rent-free in fashion mood boards across the internet. Expect nothing but regal, poise and pure main-character energy of this Bollywood diva.
Why This Wax Figure Is A Big Deal
Madame Tussauds doesn’t pick names at random, and Deepika didn’t earn her spot by accident.
She represents modern Indian cinema on a global stage. From box office hits to red carpet dominance, she’s built a career that balances mass appeal with credibility. Films like Om Shanti Om and Piku didn’t just entertain audiences; they shaped pop culture moments in the industry and across the globe.
Add multiple Filmfare Awards to the mix, and you start to see why crowds go gaga to get a glance of her.
More Than A Star, She’s A Cultural Force
Born in Copenhagen on January 5, 1986, Deepika’s journey goes far beyond cinema trivia. She has been named among Time’s 100 Most Influential People, a recognition that places her impact well outside Bollywood.
She’s also the founder of the Live Love Laugh Foundation, which works to raise awareness around mental health in India.
This combination of global fame and social responsibility is exactly why Madame Tussauds chose her.
