Amitabh Bachchan’s lookalike mobbed in Dubai; internet explodes with humour

A viral video from Dubai has set social media abuzz after it showed a man who looks strikingly similar to Amitabh Bachchan getting mobbed by a massive crowd. In the clip, dozens of people on a busy street are seen rushing toward the lookalike, eager to click selfies and photographs, apparently mistaking him for the superstar.

The video was first uploaded as an Instagram story by Ahmad Mahmood and later reshared on the popular page Lovin Dubai. Within hours, it racked up more than 114,000 views and countless reactions.

In the viral clip, the Bachchan doppelgänger can be seen walking slowly through a tightly packed crowd, while people jostle for a glimpse and attempt to capture selfies with him. Many onlookers appeared convinced that they had spotted the real “Big B”.

The video sparked a wave of witty reactions online. One Instagram user wrote, “Big B from Alibaba,” a tongue-in-cheek reference that quickly became the most shared comment. Another quipped, “Only the Noon driver got a selfie.” A third joked, “When you order Amitabh Bachchan from Alibaba.”

However, not all reactions were flattering. Some netizens expressed disbelief at the frenzy. One bluntly commented, “He does not look one percent of him… just wondering how much spare time this crowd has for such stuff.” Another added, “Some people have all the time in the world and they utilise that time in moments like these.”
