Tennis superstar Roger Federer has several lookalikes. And two of them are from our very own Bollywood -- Purab Kohli and Arbaaz Khan. Should we make a biopic on the Swiss legend?

Here are Roger Federer's surprisingly uncanny lookalikes... in Bollywood!

There's a belief that every person has seven doppelgangers, scattered all across the globe. And they say that there's a 40% chance that you will get to meet at least three of them at some point in your life.


Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer has several lookalikes. He also bears a striking resemblance to Quentin Tarantino, the director of such Hollywood films as 'Inglorious Basterds' and 'The Hateful Eight'. And that's not where the similarities end. Both the stars have won gold... While FedEx won the Olympic gold medal in doubles with his compatriot Stan Wawrinka at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games (he also won the Olympic silver medal in singles at the 2012 Olympic Games), Tarantino won it at the 1995 Academy Awards (the statue is golden isn't it).

Interestingly, two other look-alikes of the Swiss legend are from Bollywood. They are Purab Kohli and Arbaaz Khan.

Actor Ashwin Mushra tweeted after Federer claimed his 18th Grand Slam title on Sunday, "Always great seeing @Purab_Kohli holding the #AusOpen trophy." 

The 35-year-old Swiss great defied old rival Rafael Nadal on Sunday in a thrilling five-setter to win his fifth Australian Open title and first Grand Slam since 2012 Wimbledon.

While some would agree with Mushran that Kohli does bear a close resemblance to the ace tennis player. most would say it's Arbaaz Khan.

The post led to a bucket load of comments from Twitterati, including Kohli himself, who felt that Salman Khan's brother Arbaaz came closest to the handsome Swiss in looks.

Well, what do you think? Who resembles the tennis legend more?
