Though nominated and a winner of many times, Aamir does not attend any Indian film award ceremonies as he feels "Indian film awards lack credibility". In 2007, Aamir was invited to have a wax imitation of himself put on display at Madame Tussauds in London. However, Aamir declined stating that, "It's not important to me... people will see my films if they want to see me".
