Who doesn't want to live forever… if not in real then at least as a wax statue! Well, Bollywood's Big B, Amitabh Bachchan, is one person who will surely live for ages to come. The man has created history with his films and has won world acclaim for his work. Now, there is yet another honour that has come his way. After London, Madame Tussauds New York unveiled Amitabh Bachchan's new wax statue.

The figure dressed in a traditional black sherwani suit with a gold and black scarf draped around the neck, is the first to be part of Madame Tussauds New York's all new 'Bollywood Zone' at Times Square.

The unveiling was held with much fan fare as few Indian dancers put up a live show around the statue.

Also, in the Bollywood Zone at Times Square, there is a replica of the Taj Mahal, videos of Indian dancers and an area where visitors can pose as Bollywood stars. The concept behind the Bollywood Zone is to give the people a feel of being on the film sets with an actor.

The wax statue of Bachchan is the first to be installed in the Bollywood Zone at Time Square which is looking at adding figures of other leading Bollywood stars in time to come.
