The 30-year-old actress will get an interactive statute which will be installed at the museum in Singapore, the first Indian celebrity to get such a figurine. Notably, Oprah Winfrey also has an interactive statue.

Anushka will hold a phone, greet guests with warm message
Sharma's wax figurine will reportedly have her holding a phone. "Guests can take selfies with her statue and she will be heard saying warm greetings if one picks up the phone," a source said. Anushka's will be the first such statue in the Singapore museum. Alex Ward, general manager, said he was thrilled to work with the Bollywood actress.
