Do Arnab Goswami & Riteish Deshmukh Look Alike? Twitter Says Yes

Have we found the perfect person to play Arnab Goswami in a biopic?

Twitter can be a mean place. But if you're Riteish Deshmukh, you'll know just how to respond. On 2 May, Pakistani journalist Ahmer Naqvi tweeted a photo of a billboard advertisement for Arnab Goswami's soon-to-be-launched Republic TV. "Why is Riteish Deshmukh our national migraine?" Naqvi tweeted.

Without missing a beat, the actor responded to the query about the “Pakistan’s Migrane” billboard.

While Naqvi insisted that the resemblance between the actor and the journalist had confused him, Twitter decided Deshmukh would be the perfect choice to play Arnab in a biopic.

@TheRestlessQuil @BucketheadCase i genuinely thought it was Ritesh and realised its because i've never seen Arnab with his mouth shut so had no context.

Some asked Riteish to do a parody on Arnab.

@Riteishd @karachikhatmal Riteish is a funny man. He should totally do a parody on him. The Nation wants to NO!

Your response has won over Twitter, Riteish Deshmukh. It will be fun to watch you on the screen, yelling: "the nation wants to NO".
