KJo is over the moon happy, and said his childhood dream has finally come true. "I remember visiting the Madam Tussauds museum with my father when I was all of eight years old. It feels like a childhood dream has been realized. Today, my statue will be a part of this prestigious museum and I am vastly excited and honored," he added.
It's the greatest gift for my babies, says Karan
Furthermore, Karan stated that his wax statue will be the greatest gift to his kids, Roohi and Yash.

Being waxed is an altogether different high," the filmmaker stated.
