Model and Tik Tok star Alina Rai is going viral for her uncanny resemblance to Katrina Kaif but says that she sees no similarity. Alina says that people are forwarding her screenshots of articles being written about her but neither her family nor her friends ever told her that she looks like the Bollywood actor.
Alina spoke to Hindustan Times about the comparisons and said she would like to make her own mark. “I personally don’t see this. I believe that sometimes when it’s someone from the film industry, people when they see actors or models they aren’t familiar with, they see exactness or association with someone familiar and so they rid them of their originality or the independence of who they are... but with time I hope I can create my own mark and people will recognise me as myself and as Alina Rai and not a copy or anything like that because I actually don’t really resemble her so much. Neither my family sees it not my close friends see it. Maybe it’s something people see from a distance,” she said.
Alina realised she was going viral for something other than her Tik Tok videos when the news articles started pouring in. She said she was enjoying her time on the video sharing website, miming dialogues from Hindi films and watching her videos hit one million and two million marks, when she was approached for her resembling Katrina. —HT
