Actress Kareena Kapoor had postponed the unveiling of her wax statue at Madame Tussauds’ for an indefinite period after the tragic demise of beau, actor Saif Ali Khan’s father, cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. The actor has now given the nod to museum authorities that she’s ready to unveil her wax statue on October 27.“The unveiling of the statue was scheduled for the second week of October. But after the tragedy in the family, Bebo was in no mood to attend any event. Her primary objective was to be there for Saif. She cancelled all her appointments and public appearances that were scheduled in the first week of October,” says a friend of the star.
The reason Kareena chose to cancel all her events then was because she felt that she was not ready to attend any thing that remotely seemed like a celebration. “She politely communicated to the museum authorities that she had a tragedy in her family, and was unable to attend any public function. The museum authorities assured her that they were ready to wait,” the friend adds.
Kareena is now ready to fly to Blackpool, near London, where she will unveil the figurine. “She will also flag off a global exhibition, where the statues will be taken to six major cities around the world to be exhibited, before they are brought back to Blackpool. Unfortunately, this time around, the statues are not coming to Mumbai during the tour,” informs the source. Reportedly, Kareena’s statue will be seen in her avatar from the film Chameli.
