Instagram post featured the image of singer’s Indian lookalike
Did our very own Ali Sethi secretly run for elections in India? If the internet is to be believed, not only did he partake in Indian elections, but also lost…by a lot.
The celebrated singer himself recently took to Instagram to share a surprising discovery made by one of his eagle-eyed fans. The admirer spotted a politician bearing a striking resemblance to the talented artist, prompting Ali to acknowledge the doppelgänger in a light-hearted post.
The politician in question, whose appearance closely mirrors that of Ali, is noted for having recently lost votes in an election to India’s third-time Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. With his characteristic wit, Ali commented, “Apparently I lost some votes in India,” playfully suggesting the resemblance had electoral consequences.
Ali’s Instagram post featured the image of his lookalike, and he graciously credited the fan who originally brought the uncanny similarity to his attention. The post has since garnered considerable attention from the musician’s followers, sparking amusement and further comparisons in the comments section.
“Careful there. Indian channels might use this post to claim ‘Pakistan’s hand in Indian elections,'” said one fan of the singer. “Now that your Indian citizenship can be proved, when are we having a concert in New Delhi?” asked another excitedly. In a hilarious twist to a popular political slogan, one admirer commented, “Abki baar Sethi sarkar (This time, Sethi’s government).”
This humorous interlude comes amid a period of ongoing success for Ali, who continues to captivate audiences with his musical talent. Despite the geographical and political divide, the incident highlights the unexpected connections and moments of levity that can arise in the digital age.
