When Priyanka Chopra first laid eyes on her doppelgänger, even she couldn't quite believe the uncanny resemblance that they both share. Who could blame her? Navpreet Banga, a Canada-based fitness influencer, is quite the spitting image of the Quantico star.

Chopra also revealed on Twitter that she showed her doppelgänger's image to her mother in an effort to trick her, though it was to no avail. "Showed this to mom and almost fooled her hahaha! Navpreet Banga, this is uncanny but Mom knows best. Doppelganger," she wrote in the tweet.

Blackpink's Lisa will have no problem moonlighting as a university lecturer at the Chongqing College of Mobile Telecommunications, in the place of history professor Miss Tang. After students posted photos of Miss Tang on Weibo, netizens couldn’t stop scrutinising the likeness. The educator has chosen to remain largely private. However, she posted a statement on her social media that said, “I didn’t expect that the pictures would go viral”.

It’s not hard to see why 23-year-old martial artist Liu Yaxi was chosen to be Chinese actress Liu Yifei’s stunt double in “Mulan” (Yifei is the one on the left, btw). While Yifei did 90 per cent of the stunts in Mulan, there were a few scenes that required a professional martial artist. In an interview, Yaxi sang praises of Yifei’s professionalism and said, “Martial arts is dangerous, and it’s inevitable that a stunt double will be used ‘cos it’ll be too risky if the actors were to do everything themselves.”

IU and Wenhoney

While some pointed out similarities in mannerism and features, others are more sceptical, saying the resemblance is a result of filters, angles and makeup.
