Alia Bhatt and Chandani Bhabhda
Imagine meeting your most famous impersonator – and then collaborating with them! That`s exactly what happened when Bollywood star Alia Bhatt teamed up with influencer Chandni Bhabhda, who shot to internet fame for her uncannily accurate mimicry of the actor. The duo recently starred together in a L’Oréal Paris advertisement, creating a buzz online and leaving fans calling the pairing "weirdly wholesome".
As she mentions the product, the real Alia Bhatt joins in, adding, “This is a serum, but it’s also a tint, like Alia and Aila?” They high-five, sharing a laugh. Throughout the ad, Chandni continues her spot-on impersonation – mimicking Alia`s voice, gestures, facial expressions, and even her distinct laugh, much to Alia`s amusement.
The actor is visibly seen trying to contain her laughter. The video concludes with both saying, "Our makeup is done, and we are totally worth it and infallible. This can keep happening," before bursting into laughter together.
The collaboration has earned widespread praise online. Fans and viewers flooded social media platforms like Reddit with positive comments. One user noted, "To be honest: that was quite cute and likeable!" Many lauded Alia`s sportsmanship, with comments like, "Good of her to take it in the right spirit." Another user wrote, "Woww, I love this ad so much, and the energy of Alia is so funny..."
The resemblance and mimicry were key talking points. "This was weirdly very wholesome lol," stated one viewer. Echoing a sentiment previously expressed about Chandni`s mimicry, a comment read, "And the last laughing moment of Chandni was more Alia than Alia herself." Some even remarked on their similar looks: "It’s like looking at twinsies lol, they look the same also..."
Additionally, some appreciated the strategic move, possibly by Alia`s team. "Need to appreciate Alia’s team here... turning this into something positive for her," one comment read, while another stated, "Alia ki pr ko salute hai. The way they manage to turn aspects/elements that troll her into something to get positive mileage from."
