A heartbreaking yet an endearing story has come out from India, where a widower wanted to show his wife their dream houses together that he made a wax statue of her to substitute for her missing presence.
Businessman Srinivas Gupta unveiled the statue at a housewarming party, held last Friday at his new family home in Koppal, in the southern state of Karnataka. The property had been his late wife Madhavi’s idea — but she died in a car crash in 2017 before construction work had finished.
