Often photos and videos of ordinary people go viral on social media all because of their uncanny resemblance with popular Bollywood stars. They become internet sensations and their lives change in ways more than one. Something similar happened to a lookalike of Amitabh Bachchan.

As per reports Kanubhai Thakkar, a lookalike of Big B, passed away earlier this week. This lead to confusion about another lookalike Shashikant Pedwal who is also a senior actor. Pictures and videos of Shashikant went viral on social media.

During a conversation with ETimes, President of All India Lookalike association Arif Khan said, “Kannubhai Thakkar was old and not well. He would often visit Amitabh Bachchan’s home on his Sunday meeting days. Unfortunately, videos of Shashikant Pedwal, who has been doing a lot of work in the lockdown, are being used while reporting about Kannubhai Thakkar’s demise.”
