Bollywood Actors Lookalikes

Alia Bhatt and Celesti Bairagey

This lookalike of Alia Bhatt took the internet by storm last year when one of her videos went viral. Dubbed "Assam ki Alia Bhatt", Celesti Bairagey again made headlines this year when she got her first acting break. She made her debut on Indian TV as Rajjo on August 22. Rajjo is an Indian television drama series that premiered on StarPlus and is digitally streamed on Disney+ Hotstar.

Celesti Bairagey experienced great success thanks to her viral Alia Bhatt-inspired video. She stated in an interview, "You could say that the video was fruitful for me. After watching that video, the show's producer, Mukta Ma'am (Mukta Dhond), decided to invite me for an audition. Thus, Alia Bhatt is lucky for me."

Deepika Padukone and Rijuta Ghosh Deb

A digital content creator named Rijuta Ghosh Deb was recently recognised as Deepika Padukone's lookalike by the internet, and she's left fans in awe of her uncanny resemblance to the Gehraiyaan actor. Many people claimed that she resembles Padukone, but a small number of observers noted that Deb merely resembles Padukone from a particular photo angle.

When Deb was asked about her being called the actor's lookalike, she said that she wouldn’t call herself Deepika’s doppelganger. She added that Om Shanti Om was released when she was in school and ever since then, she has been told how they look similar. While she agreed they do have certain similarities, she also added that they are also a lot different.

Nargis Dutt and Sanchi Gaurav

A few months ago, photos of a young designer went viral on the internet for bearing an uncanny resemblance to veteran actor Nargis. Netizens were surprised to know that the woman named Sanchi Gaurav is the granddaughter of Nargis. Sanchi is the daughter of Kumar Gaurav and Namrata Dutt and has a sister called Siya.

She is reportedly a well-known designer and is married to actor Bilal Amrohi. Reports reveal that she owns her own studio and has designed clothes for many Hollywood celebrities, including her maternal uncle, Sanjay Dutt.
