Ere..Have I Seen U Somewhere?

Hindu folklore says 7 people around the world look alike. In cultural and folk traditions, these are related ideas about the similarity of faces, destiny, and reincarnation (maybe), and many Indian languages have sayings about people who resemble one another. Some might say it's a myth, and many others even have bizarre reasons to believe in it. While this is a very tough thing to prove, we all surely might have come across someone who looks very similar, though.

Last week I was watching 'Maid in Manhattan,' and I felt I had seen the character of Jerry Seigal somewhere. A few days later I was seeing the movie Fashion, and there I had the answer! A few searches and I came to know that Jerry Seigal was played by Stanley Tucci, and he seemed to have an uncanny resemblance to Ashwin Mushran, who played the part of an agent called Rohit in the movie.

Strikingly similar, isn't it?




Later, I was watching the song - Jiya Dhadak, Dhadak from the movie Kalyug playing in one of the channels, and it struck me that Kunal Khemu resembles the young Heath Ledger from '10 Things I Hate About You' so much.

Don't believe me? Check this out -



The funny thing is, Kunal Khemu sports the same ponytail look that Heath Ledger had in that movie. BTW, if you haven't watched the movie - 10 Things I Hate...do see it. Love the crazed-out character of Ledger in it.

Also, seems like too much of a coincidence for a single week, or maybe I am watching too many movies out here. Lol 

And the list doesn't end here. I have so many in my memory. Just don't have the patience to put up pictures of them. For I don't know their names either, since they are supporting actors in minor roles. 

Let me know if you have come across something similar.
