Meet Kanwal Cheema, Aishwarya Rai's doppelganger in Pakistan

Entrepreneur became all the rage due to her strong resemblance to Bollywood star and former Miss Universe

A recent video featuring an Aishwarya Rai lookalike has been making the rounds on social media. The said video is a short clip from an on-the-spot interview by a reporter asking Pakistani entrepreneur Kanwal Cheema about her thoughts on people comparing her to the Bollywood diva.

In the video, the reporter is heard asking Kanwal “How does it feel to be compared to Aishwarya Rai?”, to which the unsuspecting interviewee responds with a dismissive facial expression, saying “I don’t want to answer this question”. After giving her response, Kanwal tried to end the conversation by laughing off the matter. However, upon the reporter’s further questioning on the topic, Kanwal admitted that she is often compared to the Bollywood superstar but that she is not fond of the comparison.

Kanwal was caught on the spot by the reporter, just as she was stepping away after the conclusion of an event where she gave a speech about her work. The Founder and CEO gently schooled the reporter for not inquiring about her work and, instead, asking her questions about and highlighting her resemblance with Aishwarya.

“Did you listen to my speech today? Why did you revert to my appearance after listening to it? Why is this question being asked?”

There’s no doubt that Kanwal does share a resemblance to Aishwarya due to her light-colored, almost green-hued doe eyes. The way that she outlines the shape of her eyes with black eyeliner and kohl is also quite similar to how Aishwarya likes to do up her eyes.

Kanwal Cheema is the Founder and CEO of My Impact Meter, a centralized platform, social media and impact services ecosystem that connects people wanting to help those affected by some crises with the relevant suppliers of the services or goods that they wish to purchase to offer their support. The helpers or impactors use My Impact Meter to gain access to providers or impact suppliers and then purchase food, health supplies, and education services for people in need of those basic but necessary utilities.
