For her wax statue, various looks were discussed, however the maximum number of votes went to Kareena's look in her film Chameli, for which she won many awards. Besides, the museum wanted her wax statue to appear in Indian wear. Hence, her Chameli look was finalised.
Kareena's look in the film was designed by Manish Malhotra and executive producer Rangita Nandy, who scoured the streets of Mumbai to get the look of a sex worker down pat. With this, we guess Manish's work will last forever along side Kareena.
