Shahid Kapoor’s wax figure was unveiled in true Bollywood fashion with a group of dancers led by Lavania Hajji, founder of Dance Embassy, putting on an energetic, vibrant show.
The emcee was Renuka Arora Bhagat, founder of Radio Masti 24×7.
Best known for his exceptional dance moves, Shahid Kapoor brings an element of interactivity to guests at MTSG.

“As an Indian actor, it is an incredibly special moment to be surrounded by the best of Indian cinema icons at Madame Tussauds Singapore, in this unique Ultimate Film Star Experience. Unveiling my very own wax figure here is definitely a lifetime achievement – it is truly a dream come true. ” said Shahid.
Alex Ward, General Manager, Madame Tussauds Singapore, said: “We are honoured to have Shahid Kapoor’s first & only figure joining our recently launched Ultimate Film Star Experience. The King of Dance will captivate guests whether they are long-standing Indian cinema fans or new to the scene.
“With all the positive comments and support received for this new Experience, we will continue to work with more and more cinema legends, as well as adding exclusive celebrity content into the zone throughout the year.”
