Lookalike controversy at VOI: Are Toshi and Sharib same people?

Toshi from Jaipur a participant in Star Voice of India has got striking similarity in looks with Sharib  who was a runner up in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Ek Main aur Ek Tu. Well, one would just brush aside this comparison but it went overboard when Star received huge amount of emails from the viewers stating that they feel cheated that Sharib had come once again to participate in the musical concert but with a new identity of Toshi.

Such was an uproar that Shaan had to call Sharib to the show and made him stand next to Toshi to end viewers’ dilemma that they are indeed two different people. Well those of you who do not know Sharib and Toshi are not twins. Sharib is 3 years younger to Toshi. 

Toshi who is struggling to enter Bemisaal 12 the next and important phase of ASVOI has sung beautifully Lagi Tumse Man Ki Lagan. But sadly, he is in the limelight not for his singing but for his looks.

 

Our Tellybuzz reporter Kirti contacted Toshi and he said "Well, I agree Sharib and I are not only similar in looks but also our way of talking, our singing style to a large extent is very similar. Even people who talks to us regularly will not be able to distinguish our voice easily. But I feel that our voice quality is different. I have got more force and depth in my voice while Sharib can sings songs that are low base. I am not uncomfortable with constantly being compared to Sharib as I feel the way people has appreciated Sharib in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Ek Main Ek Tu they will appreciate me in the similar manner. Just like him I will get people’s support and love and there is a greater challenge to live up to their expectations.

To catch this action make sure to tune in to Star Plus on 13th July at 10 pm IST

 

Well for now lets recollect the movie, Jaan E Man where Akshay Kumar said "Every human being has 7 look alikes in this world".  7 people on this earth have the same face!  They share no blood line, they are not brothers separated at birth!  Just imagine, 7 people in the world look like Abhishek Bachchan!  So why fret over one who got married!  Girls, go hurry and find your Mr. Bachchan.
