Unveiling of wax statues by P. P Jewellers

Shilpa Shetty and Sridevi were in Delhi on November 22nd to unveil their own wax mannequins in a jewellery store. To push it's sales, PP Jewellers hired the sculptors from Madame Tussaud's museum and they made the mannequins for both the actress. Both the pieces were flown in from London in a special aircraft and were kept in an air-conditioned room before their launch.

Sculptors, who have carved wax mannequins at the London's famous wax museum, have been hired by an upmarket jeweller of New Delhi to carve out mannequins of Sridevi and Shilpa. This new experiment will definitely raise eyebrows and interest in India and the jewellery showroom is bound to get publicity.

The wax mannequins are ready and will arrive any moment to New Delhi from London. A showroom employee reveals that the mannequins will be kept in an air-conditioned room so that they do not melt.

As it appears obviously, placing wax mannequins of film stars in shops are mere gimmicks to attract customers, but thanks to the gimmick, India gets its first wax mannequins of its favorite matinee idols. Though Aishwarya Rai becomes the first female to have a wax statue of hers *sigh*
