Bengaluru, Nation Now

An industrialist in Karnataka’s Koppala district, some 353km from Bengaluru, celebrated the house warming ceremony for his wife’s dream home with a life-size silicone statue of hers three years after she died in a car accident.

The overwhelming gesture left guests at the ceremony speechless as they saw the lady of the house sitting smilingly on a white sofa at the entrance, dressed in a pink silk saree and all her finery.

In all three photos you will notice one thing common, the person on the sofa sits with the same expression.

According to industrialist Shrinivas Gupta, the statue was installed just ahead of the ceremony so his wife, Madhavi, could always live in her “dream home”.

“It is a great feeling to have my wife again at my home; this was her dream home. The house was designed as per her wishes and she was alone was monitoring the progress of the construction of the house,” Mr Gupta said, adding he and his daughters decided on getting the statue made as they miss her.
