Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has unveiled his wax statue at the Grévin Wax Museum in Paris.
As the King Khan, dressed in a pair of jeans and a black leather jacket, stepped out of a limousine in front of the museum, he was welcomed by African and Indian dancers outside the museum amid cheers from a crowd of fans on Monday morning.
Accompanied by wife Gauri and close buddy Karan Johar , SRK signed autographs for the fans but when some of them tried to embrace him, the matinee idol was whisked away by security guards.
A ceremony inside the premises was restricted to invitees and tickets to the museum were sold out at least for the day.
This is the second wax statue of SRK, after the one included in the Madame Tussauds' museum in London.
Mahatma Gandhi is the only other Indian honoured with a statue in this museum established in 1922.
