Darpan News Desk IANS, 21 Mar, 2017 12:09 PM
    Pakistani model Zhalay Sarhadi claims that she was once offered to be Priyanka Chopra’s body double and is routinely mistaken for her.
     
    Pakistani model Zhalay Sarhadi, recently in an interview joked about being compared to Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra and how she was asked to play her body double
     
    “I started working the same year that Indian channels got banned in Pakistan and Priyanka became Miss World. I remember, I was hosting a show back then and everyone thought it was Priyanka and not me. It’s been this way ever since that time. I bet even Priyanka knows about me by now,” the Express Tribune quoted Zhalay as saying.
     
    She also recalled an embarrassing moment when an Indian actor, whom she was working with, sent her pictures to his friends and agents and then someone from India approached her to be a body double for Priyanka.
