Shah Rukh becomes the first Indian actor to be honoured with customised gold coins by Grevin Museum in Paris 

<p>Musée Grévin, the iconic wax museum in Paris, has addressed concerns raised by Dwayne Johnson and his fans after the recent unveiling of the actor's wax figure. The issue revolved around the figure's skin tone, which was deemed lighter than the actor's actual complexion.</p>

<p>Within 24 hours of the controversy, the museum's artists made adjustments to rectify the skin tone. The modifications were made with meticulous oil painting techniques, resulting in a figure that more accurately represents Dwayne Johnson.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/dwayne-johnsons-wax-statue-to-be-redone-after-star-criticises-its-white-skin-651083/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Veronique Berecz, Musée Grévin's head of PR, said that the museum had no intention of "white washing" the figure. Instead, the discrepancy in skin tone was attributed to the challenges of recreating a lifelike wax figure based solely on reference photos and not the actual person. Lighting conditions in these photos can distort the perception of skin tones, making achieving accuracy a complex task, especially when they have not met the subject in person.</p>

The controversy first came to light through an Instagram reel shared by comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
