“Going to miss you champion,” Hansal wrote.
There’s only one problem. That’s not Roger Federer. It’s Indian actor Arbaaz Khan (aka Salman Khan’s brother). In fairness, they do look alike.
Whether this is a slip-up or Mehta did it on purpose, netizens can’t help but laugh at this rib-tickling tribute to one of the greatest tennis players of our generation. Here are some interesting reactions:
Well, this guy is convinced. The resemblance is uncanny.
Who’s gonna tell them…
Rajesh Federer!?
This one fan had a very interesting theory why Roger is related to Salu and Arbaaz.
Some think Arbaaz would make a good choice for a Roger Federer biopic! We wonder who’ll play Nadal.
Recently, Roger Federer made an emotional announcement about his retirement, explaining that the Laver cup next month will be is last ATP tour event.
The legendary tennis player has captivated fans for 24 years, winning 20 Grand Slams and played more than 1500 matches in his career. Now he is 41 years old and feels that he has reached his body’s capacity and limit.
