At the Mahakumbh Mela, the world’s largest religious gathering, there’s no shortage of surprising moments. Recently, a viral video caught the attention of social media users when a man who closely resembles actor Daniel Radcliffe, known for his role as Harry Potter, was seen enjoying a meal at a bhandara stall, a special meal served to devotees. The video shows the lookalike sitting with local devotees, eating from a leaf plate. However, when a reporter zoomed in on him, he was caught off guard, humorously licking his plate, which led to laughter. The video quickly went viral, leaving many stunned by the uncanny resemblance to the famous actor.


The video sparked a variety of reactions online. Some users expressed their discomfort with how the reporter focused the camera on the man without permission. One user pointed out that it was an invasion of privacy to zoom in on someone who was simply eating, saying it was rude and unnecessary. Others, however, were more playful, urging the lookalike to identify himself as Harry Potter. One user jokingly asked, “Harry Potter real ID se aao (Harry Potter! Please, respond with your real ID).”

She recently expressed concern over people chasing her for selfies, raising questions about privacy and personal boundaries in the age of social media.

The incident with the Daniel Radcliffe lookalike at the Mahakumbh Mela highlights how the digital world often blurs the line between public and private moments. As people continue to share their experiences online, it's important to remember the importance of consent and respecting personal space, especially when capturing everyday moments.
