The Simpsons did it again!

Imran Abbas finds similarities between an animated Stevie Wonder and Chahat Fateh Ali Khan

Pakistani actor Imran Abbas recently claimed he spotted an uncanny similarity between an old episode of The Simpsons featuring Stevie Wonder and Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s viral hit Bado Badi. The connection? Probably their strikingly similar hairstyles. Over the years, The Simpsons has made headlines over its oddly surprising ability to predict real world events

Taking to social media, Abbas shared his revelation on his Instagram Story, complete with side-by-side screenshots of Wonder’s animated cameo playing a saxophone and Chahat’s latest music video. “The Simpsons did it again! Just like in the past, Simpsons predicted the doom of Chahat Fateh Ali Khan on us in its previous episodes,” the actor, known for his dramatic roles and perfectly coiffed hair wrote.

It’s unclear if Abbas is pulling our leg or genuinely believes that Stevie Wonder is Chahat, or better yet, that Matt Groening’s yellow-tinged creation holds a crystal ball to the future, his fans are loving every minute of it. The animated show might just have another feather to add to its cap, courtesy of Abbas’ playful conspiracy theory.

Commenters have flooded social media with a mix of amusement and scepticism, “It’s Stevie Wonder,” a user wrote, followed by an eye roll emoji. One quipped, “I’m sure that was Stevie Wonder, but still funny.” Another commented, “Look at the hair,” noting the similarity. One user was doubtful that the entire episode was even real, stating, “Did he really watch? I mean this could be AI generated.”

Whether in jest or earnest, the Ahram-e-Junoon actor has undoubtedly given us all a good laugh—and possibly, something to think about the next time we catch an episode of The Simpsons.
