New York: The museum of Madame Tussauds in the New York City unveiled Priyanka Chopra’s first ever wax statue post marriage, in the name of “Priyanka Chopra Jonas” on Thursday.

Sharing pictures on her Instagram, the actress revealed that her wax figure will also be launched in other cities across the world including London, Sydney and Asia, later this year. “Me when I saw my new wax figure at Madame Tussauds in NYC @nycwax (Coming to other locations soon!!) 4 figures.
