I dont usualy like to discuss such things but seriously this lad has resemblence With Shoaib …
LUCKNOW: Both are ruthless when it comes to their profession and the similarity does not end here.
A 27-year-old youth from Billauchpura here is basking in reflected glory - thanks to an uncanny resemblance to Pakistan tearaway bowler Shoaib Akhtar.
Shamshuddin, a butcher who runs a mutton shop in Tudiaganj, is making waves on account of this quirk of fate which is fetching him stardom of sorts on the sidelines of the great cricketing action in the neighbouring country.
“When I walk through the streets, children jostle with one another to shake hands and take autographs,” gushes the look-alike.
Life has changed, for good, for Shamshuddin ever since people started taking note of his resemblance and it has also improved his business.
Since his new found fame and the attention, Shamshuddin’s shop is full of people who mostly end up buying meat from him. “The business has improved a lot,” he said.
The local lad, who has already developed mannerism and hairstyle like Shoaib, has now joined gymnasium, on his friends’ advise, to build up his body to look more like his “hero”.
“I have also restarted my education as now people come over to meet me and I don’t want to disappoint anyone by exposing my lack of proper education,” he added. (PTI)
During the Pak’s last tour of India in Dehli test there was a Sachin tendulkar loo alike who looked almost identical to Little Master…didnt see him after that.
Balbir Chand, a resident of Sahlon village in Nawanshahr district, steals the limelight wherever he goes: The reason, his uncanny resemblance to Sachin Tendulkar.
Balbir, who was working as a ward boy in Dayanand Hospital, Ludhiana, resigned from the job in 1999 as he was signed by the Hero group of companies as a model for their advertisement campaign. The company also sponsored his tour to England during the last Cricket World Cup.
Since then he has been struggling to give the right direction to his career as a model, In his bid to try his luck, he moved to Mumbai in October 2000. As soon as he reached Mumbai Railway station, people started gazing at him. And among them was Mr Amar Dogra, Art Director of the Famous Studio, Mumbai. He invited him to Famous Studio where he met cine stars — Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Akshaya Kumar, who also got taken in by his resemblance with Sachin Tendulkar. Mr Amar Dogra took him home and guided him how to contact advertisement agencies, serial producers etc.
Balbir Chand’s struggle has started bearing fruit. he has been signed for a TV serial ‘Ladkewale, Ladkiwale’ being produced by Ashco Media under the direction of Ajay Mehra. In this serial Balbir plays the role of ‘Sachin Tendulkar (see picture — extreme left). The story of the serial revolves around a girl who is mad after Sachin Tendulkar and wants to marry him.
Balbir, who has come here to meet his family members, shared his experiences with ‘The Tribune’, saying he was quite nervous while acting before the camera in the beginning. But now he had learnt a lot and has been doing a lot of home-work to improve his pronunciation, face expressions and body language etc.
