The 46-year-old director was accompanied by his mother Hiroo Johar on the occasion.
“What fun with my mom and my family…and my surprise from friends who are too shy to be named,” he added.
The official Twitter handle of his production house, Dharma Productions, too shared photos of the filmmaker with the figure, claiming he has become the first Indian filmmaker to “make his mark at Madame Tussauds”.

At Madame Tussauds museum here, Karan also took a moment to pose alongside his “Student Of The Year” actor Varun Dhawan’s wax figure.
Karan, known for directing friendship and love based films like “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” and “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna”, is riding high on success as a producer now.
