Once a while, the netizens share a strange, unusual picture that becomes the talking point of the day on Twitter and Facebook. There are occasions when people catch up with doppelgangers of famous celebrities, click pictures with them and when they go viral, turn these doppelgangers into stars of their right. Remember Tariq Mir, the Kashmiri who broke the internet a few months back when his picture went viral, as netizens found him resembling Peter Dinklage aka Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones? Now it is the turn of Akshay Kumar's doppelganger. Or rather, Akshay Kumar's doppelganger if he used FaceApp's Old Person filter. Akshay Kumar Spending Quality Time With His Mother in London is the Sweetest Thing You'll See on the Internet (Watch Video).
ABP News' associate editor Ashish Singh shared a picture through his Twitter handle, that has him along with a Kashmiri man, Majid Mir. Singh claims that Mir is an ardent fan of the former Indian cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar, who religiously wears the cricket hat on his head on a daily basis.
Check out the tweet below:

Twitterati was quick to point out that Mir shares a striking similarity to Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, based on facial similarities, even though he looks older to Akki, and even is smaller in height.

That's it for today, folks. Until Twitterati discovers a new celebrity lookalike in unexpected places for us to feel amazed and have a laugh at. Till then, let's wonder what Akshay Kumar has to say about his Kashmiri doppelganger. We are pretty sure his wife, the witty Twinkle Khanna, would have a funny take on this!
