A post shared by Ibrahim qadri (@ibrahim__qadri)

Ibrahim Qadri is a well-known lookalike of Shah Rukh Khan and often attends several events as well as guest. Earlier this year he was in the news when he was seen campaigning for Congress party in Solapur, Maharashtra during the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Many mistook him for superstar Shah Rukh Khan initially. Later, it was clarified that it wasn't the actor but his lookalike who was campaigning for the party. 

Until 2017, Qadri painted walls and hoardings in his hometown in Junagadh, Gujarat. The turning point came when people started taking note of his uncanny resemblance with Shah Rukh Khan. He then began making videos for Instagram imitating Bollywood's King Khan. Owing to his striking resemblance, the videos got traction and was viewed by millions of people, adding to his popularity and his hometown.

It was only after the release of the film'Raees' that he decided to work on refining his physique, hairstyle, and mannerisms, gradually transforming himself into an astonishing 30 percent mirror image of the beloved superstar. Ibrahim’s newfound fame has brought him invitations to various events and destinations worldwide, from Dubai to Muscat. 

“It has become difficult for me to move around in public. People mistake me for the real Shah Rukh Khan. I receive a lot of love, but it complicates my day-to-day activities. Shopkeepers charge me higher prices, insisting, ‘Oh, you’re Shah Rukh Khan!’ How can I explain it to them?” he laments. 

On the other hand, Virat Kohli's lookalike has also time and again got fans confused when he has stepped out in the city with his eery resemblance to the Indian cricketer.
