8 Bollywood Celebs With Hollywood Lookalikes

Who doesn’t love Bollywood? Bollywood stars are people we aspire to meet, they even feature frequently in our dreams. Some of us quite literally worship them. Even if we don’t practice it ourselves, almost all of us have a friend or a family member who follows the first-day-first-show rule of watching his/her favorite Bollywood actor’s movies.

Now, if you too are a Bollywood fanatic like the kind we described above, we have a surprise for you. A few days back we were pleasantly surprised, when we came across several Hollywood celebs who bore uncanny resemblance to some of our favorite desi stars. It’s amazing how all of them are part of this starry world and yet, we hadn’t noticed this striking resemblance among them in spite of seeing them individually in their movies.

We aren’t sure if we can call them doppelgangers, a concept in which people believe that every single soul on this earth has seven other humans who resemble them but aren’t related to them, but we are sure that it is a crazy coincidence. This finding can amuse you or maybe you will find it disconcerting. To get you to decide, we’ve collated a list of some Bollywood celebs with their Hollywood lookalike partners. This list is pretty long and might even jolt you, so hold on to your seats. Here you go:

1. Parineeti Chopra And Hayden Panettiere

Sister alert! It’s incredible how both these beautiful ladies possess such a bubbly demeanor. Of course, one is blonde while the other one is a brunette, but when you look at their features and their smiles, these two can definitely pass off as twins. Parineeti is Bollywood actor, and the cousin of Quantico star Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She is also an amazing singer just like her lookalike Hayden, who is an American model, singer, and actress of the Heroes fame. They look really similar, don’t they?

2. Katrina Kaif And Cobie Smulders

Have you noticed the actress who plays the character Robin in the famous television series, How I Met Your Mother? Doesn’t she look very similar to our desi girl Katrina Kaif? Well, the actress, whose name is Cobie Smulders, has a striking resemblance to Kat, they both radiate a flirtatious naughtiness and vivaciousness in their looks.

3. Preity Zinta And Drew Barrymore

They look so similar that someone who is alien to the Bollywood and Hollywood world might actually end up thinking that these two are sisters who were raised in two different countries. The only difference here is that while Preity is a self-made star, Drew comes from one of the most respected acting families of Hollywood. Their dimples, and innocent charm is strikingly similar, isn’t it?

4. Indraneil Sengupta And Jeff Goldblum

Indraneil was first a model, then he did a few roles on the small screen of the television. Later on, he bagged decent character-specific roles in movies like Kahaani, 1920, Satyagraha, etc. which is when the audience noticed how this handsome Indian man resembled Jeff Goldblum. Goldblum is a successful Hollywood actor who is widely known for his acting skills in the Jurrasic Park franchise and is also popular as a meme-subject.

5. Esha Gupta And Angelina Jolie

If you can’t afford to go to the west to catch a glimpse of Angelina Jolie, we have our very own version back in our home country. We are talking about Esha Gupta. These two celebs don’t just have a similar appearance and facial features, but they also have a very similar body structure. The only difference though is in the success graphs of their respective careers (you know what we mean).

6. Sonali Kulkarni And Halle Berry

This is one duo who not just look similar, but their career achievements too have adorned the resemblance hat. While our Sonali is National Awardee, Halle is an Oscar winner! This proves that both are powerful performers onscreen. In terms of their face, nose, and smile — they look so same!

7. Diya Mirza And Anne Hathaway

With their matching skin tones, their beautiful hair, their heart-warming smiles, these two celebs of two different worlds could easily be mistaken for sisters, don’t you think? They both have this innocent, elegant look and the way they both carry themselves in the public eye is quite alike too.

8. Hrithik Roshan And Bradley Cooper

While one is the Indian version of a Greek God, the other is swoon-worthy American heartthrob. And hell yeah, they both fall in the bracket of the sexiest men on earth. What’s more about these two? Just observe y’ all, they sure do look alike, don’t they? Just look at those smoldering eyes, those sharp jawlines, those light-colored eyes, and sharp noses — the similarities don’t end, do they? So, let’s just agree and move on.

Now we all can believe that there are actually “identical” cases here between the two starriest worlds on this earth, the Bollywood and the Hollywood. Do you know of any other such duo? Let us know in the comment section below.
