Indian man installs life-sized wax model of deceased wife into new bungalow for housewarming party

A man installed his late wife’s hyper-realistic wax figure into his newly constructed bungalow in southern India's Karnataka.

The footage was filmed in Koppal district, where the man introduced the life-sized statue resembling his spouse on August 8.

According to reports, the man identified as 57-year-old businessman Srinivas Gupta, approached over 25 architects to make the newly-built house special for his wife.

On August 8, guests who were invited to the housewarming ceremony at Srinivas Gupta's residence were left speechless after they walked through the door to see a life-like statue of his late wife Madhavi in the living room.

The video showcases his wife, Madhavi, sitting on a sofa donning a beautiful pink saree and golden ornaments.

Reportedly, Madhavi was on a trip to Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, with her daughters, three years ago, when their driver rear-ended a speeding truck.

While the daughters sustained minor injuries, Madhavi, who was seated on the passenger seat, passed away in the accident.
