Meet the 'other Imran Khan'

Published August 19, 2014

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan is the man of the hour for thousands of PTI supporters gathered in the federal capital, and for those unable to access their leader directly, young Jamal Shah is on hand.

Shah, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Imran (and Stephen Moyer of True Blood fame), has been a major attraction at the protest, drawing large crowds of fans around him.

“Wherever I go I earn lavish praise from people who take me for Imran Khan...all the love they have for him they heap on me,” Shah said.

The PTI Chairman look-alike is a lecturer of the English language at a private college in Nowshera.
