Meet Shah Rukh Khan’s Doppelganger Ibrahim Qadri; ‘I Have To Take Security With Me..’

Ibrahim Qadri's life has been nothing short of a movie plot, from painting walls and hoardings in Junagadh, Gujarat, until 2017 to now traveling the world and making people happy. You probably have seen at least one of his social media reels because he is well-known for being actor Shah Rukh Khan's doppelganger.

His most recent video, in which he spreads his arms out like Khan during an airport security check, has stunned the internet with its resemblance, garnering more than 50 million views in just a few days on Instagram.

In an interview, he admits that he previously didn't take the likeness seriously. “It was only after Raees that I took it seriously. I would resemble Shah Rukh sir only 10 percent, but then I worked on my physique and hair, mannerisms. Now I would say it’s 30 percent, there’s a long way to go,” he laughs.

He receives invitations to events from all around the world, including Dubai and Muscat. Financially, he is now living a nice life. But there is a cost involved. “Mushkil ho gaya hai mera crowd mein jaana, log mujhe original samajhne lagte hain. Pyaar toh milta hai, lekin mere day to day kaam mushkil ho jaate hain. Shopkeepers charge me higher prices, and say ‘arre bhaiya tum toh Shah Rukh Khan ho’, kaise samjhaun unhe. Also, I feel the weight of it now. Mujhe dimaag mein rakhna padhta hai ki main kuchh aisa na karun jisse Shah Rukh sir ki image ko nuksaan pahaunche. He’s a global star I have to take security with me sometimes,” he shares.

You would be shocked to learn that despite dedicating his entire life to Shah Rukh, Qadri has never really met the actor. And he has no desire to. Reason? “Mujhe lagta hai main jiss din sir se mila, sab kuchh khatam ho jaayega. When you don’t have a Ferrari and want it badly, and when you finally get it, it will remain in the garage whereas you will roam around on a bike. Craze khatam ho jaayega mera, josh bhi. If he himself says he wants to meet me, I will of course go, but I myself don’t want to,” he smiles.
