Ranbir Kapoor’s lookalike Junaid Shah passes away

A time was there when Ranbir Kapoor’s lookalike Junaid Shah’s pictures took to storm on the internet.

The actor’s look alike hailed from Kashmir, who died of cardiac arrest in the morning of July 17 in Srinagar, Kashmir. After gaining immense popularity for sharing his physical features with Rishi Kapoor’s son Ranbir Kapoor, Junaid was known across the nation. His uncanny resemblance to the actor not only made him famous but remained successful in garnering a separate fan base. His pictures had previously taken to the internet by storm, so much so, that Rishi Kapoor too tweeted the picture of Ranbir Kapoor besude Junaid Shah expressing his amazement over his son having a doppelganger.

Sharing facial features with Ranbir Kapoor fetched the 28-year-old Junaid Shah several modelling assignments in Mumbai and was reportedly even part of Anupam Kher’s acting school. According to media reports, he had recently returned to Srinagar to take care of his ailing father. However, on Friday morning, Junaid died of major cardiac arrest and many of his fans took on to the social media to express shock over his unexpected and sudden demise.
