After stalwarts of the film industry like Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan received this honour, it is now time for the first Bollywood artist, who is not a film actor, to have the honour of being immortalised in wax at the prestigious Madame Tussauds museum in London. The popular playback singer is the first from his field of work to be waxed.

Sonu did try his hand at acting in films like Love in Nepal and Jaani Dushman: EK Anokhi Kahani, but his real talent lay in his voice. A source close to the singer reveals in an article in Mumbai Mirror, "Sonu was approached last December, they're expected to arrive in a month to decide on his look and measurements. He is waiting for work on his next album to get over before he focuses on this."

he have had his peak time in the past...and its not about the current popularity its about the legacy ...he have done enough of great work since 90's ...u need honey singh wax now as he is more popular then any other artist 😆 Sonu Nigam songs will be remembered like rafi kishore songs people learn singing by listeing to him ...and honey singh will fade away the day he will stop his stupid rap...when salman khan wax was being made he was in his worse period of flops films somewhere around 2008...but it wasn't his popularity but overall legacy ...amitabh bachan wax was made in 2000 when Khans took over from him ...the criteria is not the current success but the legacy you have achieved during your prime

dont underestimate the power of melodious singers lol Sonu has been nominated in Oscar awards list too quite recently in 2014 for his compositions in indian film "JAL" along with AR Rehman who was nominated for his some reginol stuff were 2 indians in the list 😉 these two from music industry is equally popular like a bollywood actor 😉
