Ankit Gera and Waseem Mushtaq - separated at birth

Waseem Mushtaq and Ankit Gera have grown as actors with passing time. While Ankit made it big by playing the role of Adarsh in Star Plus’ Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya, Waseem came into the limelight with Zee TV’s 12/24 Karol Bagh. And today, Ankit plays the lead role in Zee TV’s Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke and Waseem is seen in Rajan Shahi’s Amrit Manthan on Life OK. Are you wondering why we have tagged both the actors together in this story? Well, there’s a reason for it!! Both Ankit and Waseem have a similarity when it comes to their look so much so that they have been identified with each other’s names. Hear the interesting tale from them. Says Waseem, “Yes, it is so very true that people mistake me for Ankit Gera. It so happened once that I was at the Delhi airport when a family ran up to me asking for autographs. They even clicked pictures after which the kid from the family did ask me, ‘Ab Pratigya ke saath kya hoga?’ and this is when I understood that it was a case of mistaken identity. Only after this did I know that they assumed they were talking to the actor Ankit Gera. Even my parents feel I look similar to Ankit (smiles).” When contacted, Ankit Gera echoed the same saying, “It’s so funny that we resemble so much. In fact, we got to know about this when I met Waseem on the sets of Amrit Manthan. We (Waseem, Adaa Khan, Dimple Jhangiani and Ankit Gera) hang out together and this is when we have discussed about this at length.” Well, the picture does speak volumes about the striking similarity between you two, Ankit and Waseem!!
