Shah Rukh Khan’s presence in the IPL matches, especially when his team Kolkata Knight Riders, are playing is a usual affair!! SRK is mostly found cheering his team up when the match is on!! And this became a bone of contention for SRK’s doppelganger, Ibrahim Qadri recently.
Ibrahim was watching the match between KKR and GT at IPL when he was hounded by fans. One of the fans in fact tore his shirt off thinking that he is SRK. A report on koimoi.com talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
In a recent interview with Human Of Bombay, Ibrahim Qadri who’s Shah Rukh Khan’s doppelgänger narrated an incident where he got swamped and said, “when I went to watch KKR take on Gujarat Lions in the stadium; everyone took out their cameras & waved at me. People clapped & spoke SRK’s famous movie lines at me. I saw how much love people have for SRK, & for the 1st time, I felt like a ‘Badshah’; it was special! But very quickly, I also realized what SRK probably goes through daily; I got swamped & someone held onto me so tight that my t-shirt tore! It got so bad that I had to call the police to be safely taken out of the stadium. And after rescuing me, the cops asked, ‘SRK sir, ek selfie?’”
Wow!! This is the trouble of being a doppelganger to a celebrity!!
