Shah Rukh Khan doppelganger Ibrahim once struggled for two meals, now charges Rs 5 lakh
Ibrahim Qadri, originally a painter from Junagadh, Gujarat, once struggled to find two meals a day due to his limited income from painting signboards. His life took a turn when he was mistaken for Shah Rukh Khan at an IPL match in Rajkot. The attention he received from the crowd led to him embracing his resemblance to the actor.
Initially, Ibrahim enjoyed the fame, but it became his profession as he charged up to Rs 5 lakh for appearances as Shah Rukh Khan. After changing his appearance and putting in years of hard work, he now maintains financial security, allowing him to afford all three meals a day.
