Indian playback singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has worked in numerous movies and has lent his voice to many actors. He is now in the news for an unusual reason, not in India but in Egypt. The celebrated singer is being recognized there for his uncanny resemblance with the late Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. The singer himself shared the picture on his social media site.
The singer is often in the news for his controversial statements in the media. From Shah Rukh Khan to Pakistani artist Ghulam Ali, he has dragged some big names into his remarks. In the wake of the Uri attacks, the esteemed singer called out the Khans – Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir launching a rant on social media, calling them shameless. Even last year, he stirred the media by claiming that the Jawan actor is a very commercial man who uses people and removes anyone who is on his way to success.
For the unversed, Hosni Mubarak was an Egyptian politician and military officer who served as the fourth president of Egypt from 1981 to 2011. In 2020, Hosni passed away at the age of 91. A few years ago, Abhijeet Bhattacharya shared a collage of himself with the late Egyptian president’s picture on his Instagram, with the title song of Main Khiladi Tu Anari in the background. In the caption, he wrote, “Wow!! I am trending in #Egypt #HosniMubarak.” In the comments, he added, “See you soon, my dear friends. My families are there.. in #Egypt. I love you, Egypt.”

A person asked, “We don’t let our garbage go waste Recycle it please Egypt.”

In an interview with News Lines, Abhijeet Bhattacharya reacted to this news of his resemblance with Hosni Mubarak. The singer said, “My social media has been flooded with comments in the last three weeks. Initially, I thought I was being spammed. Even though I cannot understand Arabic, I am overwhelmed with the love and response from the entire Arab community.”
Abhijeet continued, “My understanding is that people feel that after the former leader died, he came to India and took refuge in my body. So they are apologizing to him and want him to return to help them solve the problems the country has been facing, such as rising inflation, and that they will listen to everything that he says.”
