A man who looks strikingly like Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan recently sparked chaos in an unknown location when a massive crowd mistook him for the actor. The man, Ibrahim Qadri, has made a name for himself online thanks to his uncanny resemblance to SRK.
Fans Mob SRK Lookalike
On Tuesday, videos of a frenzied crowd surrounding Ibrahim Qadri went viral. In the clips, Qadri was seen stuck inside his car while dozens of excited fans screamed “Shah Rukh Khan!” and tried to break past security just to catch a glimpse. Guards and bouncers struggled to control the crowd as things got out of hand.
Dancing Like the Star
In another viral clip, Qadri is seen dancing to Shah Rukh Khan’s hit songs and waving to the public, while people eagerly recorded the moment on their phones. The vibe was pure fanfare—even if the star wasn’t actually present.
Mixed Reactions Online
While many were amazed at the resemblance, some social media users were less impressed. One Reddit user joked, “Pehle mujhe laga ki aankhon ko dhoka hua hai, then realized it’s SRK from Meesho.” Another quipped, “I saw the video before reading and wondered why did SRK get short!”
A few users even expressed concern over fan culture, calling it “embarrassing” and pointing out how actors might feel the need to protect their image and privacy, much like Jackie Shroff has done in the past.
Ibrahim Qadri Responds
Ibrahim Qadri, who boasts over 2 million followers on Instagram, posted the viral videos himself. In past interviews, he has shared that people have always said he looks like SRK, but he began to embrace the attention seriously only after Raees hit the screens.
Hero Worship or Identity Crisis?
This incident raises the question: How far is too far when it comes to celebrity lookalikes? While some celebrate Qadri for entertaining fans, others feel it blurs the line between admiration and obsession.
