Madhur Brij, the younger sister of Madhubala, says that all the actresses of today are very beautiful but she wants Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan to play the late actress if the biopic is made on her as the "Jab We Met" heroine has the same naughtiness that the former used to have.

"There was a time when I wanted Madhuri Dixit to play the role of Madhubala in her biopic but now it has to be Kareena Kapoor Khan as she has the same naughtiness that Madhubala used to have and she is a beautiful actress too," said Madhur on the sidelines of the unveiling of the wax figure of the late actress by Madame Tussauds, Delhi, on Thursday. "Madhubala was very simple at home. She was elder but never bossy and she used to encourage all of us to come in films," said Madhur, draped elegantly in a white sari with her head covered by a scarf.

Born in 1933, Madhubala- often regarded as the most iconic female celebrity of Hindi cinema- worked in films between 1942 and 1962.

Some of her widely acclaimed films include "Mahal" (1949), "Amar" (1954), "Mr. & Mrs. '55" (1955), "Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi" (1958), "Mughal-e-Azam" (1960) and "Barsaat Ki Raat" (1960).Madhubala died on February 23, 1969 after a prolonged illness.

Madhubala's wax figure has been inspired by her legendary character "Anarkali" from the film "Mughal-e-Azam". The figure has been created beautifully by the artists of Madame Tussauds. There were many artists who worked for over six months to create the figure of the actress with fabrics and accessories sourced from India and put up beautifully by artists abroad.
