A First-of-Its-Kind Unveiling: A Family Affair with a Furry Twist
The grand reveal in London was not a solo celebration for Ram Charan. He was accompanied by:
- His wife, Upasana Kamineni Konidela
- Their daughter, Klin Kaara Konidela
- His legendary father, Megastar Chiranjeevi, and mother, Surekha
- And most notably, his beloved pet dog, Rhyme
In a unique and unprecedented move, the Madame Tussauds team also unveiled a wax figure of Rhyme, marking the first time in Indian history that a celebrity’s pet has been immortalized in wax alongside its owner.
Klin Kaara Steals the Show with Adorable Moment
One of the most viral moments from the event came when little Klin Kaara mistook her father’s wax statue for him. The toddler ran up to the figure, calling out “Daddy” in a moment that touched hearts across social media platforms.
Upasana later shared the moment on her Instagram with the caption highlighting how real the statue looked even to their daughter. Netizens called it “pure”, “emotional”, and “the most adorable moment of the day.”
Style Reimagined in Wax: A Nod to the Oscars
The wax figure of Ram Charan is seen wearing a custom black velvet bandhgala, the same attire he wore to the 95th Academy Awards in 2023, where ‘Naatu Naatu’ from RRR won the Oscar for Best Original Song. This choice pays homage not just to his style but to one of the most iconic moments in his career.
The attention to detail is uncanny—right from his hairstyle and beard to his accessories and expression, the statue is a masterclass in wax artistry.
Double Immortalization – Rhyme Makes History
The surprise star of the event was undoubtedly Rhyme, Ram Charan’s adorable pet. Rhyme’s wax figure has been placed beside Charan’s, making it a landmark moment in Madame Tussauds’ history.
Fans praised the gesture, calling it “an emotional tribute to companionship.” Pet lovers around the world celebrated the museum’s step towards honoring not just human celebrities but their four-legged family members too.
From London to Singapore: The Journey of the Wax Figure
After the initial unveiling in London, it was announced that Ram Charan’s and Rhyme’s wax statues will soon be shifted to Madame Tussauds Singapore for permanent display starting May 20, 2025. This move aligns with the rising fan base of Indian cinema in Southeast Asia and is expected to draw massive crowds.
