Deepak Divekar - India's Musharraf lookalike. Was signed by BJP for upcoming election campaing. LOL..
Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf and his lookalike - can you tell them apart?
Deepak Divekar has been doubling as General Musharraf for several years - and was signed up recently by India's governing BJP party for its election campaign.
A work colleague first spotted the resemblance - leading to several film roles.
"If he hadn't told me to shave off my beard, I wouldn't have shot to prominence," Mr Divekar says.
He does sometimes receive threats: "At one point I even had to shave my moustache off because people looked at me and became angry." "But when peace moves started and relations improved, people were not as furious."
If you are still not sure, the real General Musharraf is on the right
