Aishwarya Rai’s lookalike Manasi Naik is a Marathi actor and has a massive fan following on TikTok and Instagram.
Aishwarya Rai is undeniably one of the most beautiful actors in Bollywood. But not many are aware that the actor also has a lookalike named Manasi Naik in the Marathi film industry whose various posts are a proof of her resemblance with the actor.
Manasi often dresses up like Aishwarya and posts stunning pictures and videos on Instagram where she has over 943k followers, apart from 4 million followers on TikTok.
Manasi has been enjoying social media attention for her resemblance. She has featured in Marathi films such as 2012 film Kutumb.
She had posted several pictures and videos in a red lehenga, complete with traditional jewellery, from her performance on New Year. She had posted her TikTok videos with songs from film Padmaavat playing in the background.
In the videos, the actor looks strikingly similar to Aishwarya who had a similar look in films such as Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Jodha Akbar.
"Aishwarya's duplicate," a user commented.
Another user wrote: "Aishwarya's carbon copy."
Earlier in 2005, actress Sneha Ullal, who was paired opposite superstar Salman Khan in "Lucky: No Time For Love", made similar headlines for her striking resemblance to Aishwarya.
However, "Lucky" fared way below expectations at the box office, and Sneha could not quite make her mark in Bollywood in the years to come.
Meanwhile, the real Aishwarya and the former Miss World was last seen in 2018 film Fanney Khan and is currently working on Mani Ratnam’s multilingual film, Ponniyin Selvan. It is a period drama and is also said to have an appearance by her superstar father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.
