Weird and Wacky Wednesday: “HUSBAND BRINGS LATE WIFE BACK TO LIFE (Well, not really…)”

A man in India recently lost his wife of 39 years, but she’ll always be with him — because he’s fulfilled her dying wish of creating a life-sized statue of her so they could be together forever. Tapas Sandilya lost his wife to COVID in 2021. While she was in the hospital, she asked that he build a statue of her if she dies so that they can continue to be together. After she died, Tapas found an artist to build a life-like silicone statue of his wife.  A little over six months later, the 66-pound statue in her likeness was completed.  Tapas says, “I was heartbroken when my wife died — so I brought her back to life for $3,000.”  The statue is dressed in his wife’s favorite clothing and jewelry and is seated in her favorite spot on the couch in the couple’s living room.
