Says a source close to Bebo, "Several looks were discussed, but the maximum number of votes went to Kareena's look in Chameli, for which she won many awards. Also, as it's an international forum, they wanted her in Indian wear. Chameli was a turning point in her career and she was appreciated by both critics as well as fans. It was after her performance in Chameli that the actress was appreciated as a talented star."

The source adds, "The museum officials have taken her measurements and have been working on her statue. Kareena has lots of Indian fans in London, and she will be going there to inaugurate her wax statue in October." Her look in Chameli 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. "Manish will most probably put together the Tussauds look too," says the source.
