There must be a lot of people who like to mimic Arnab Goswami, but Twitter recently discovered that Riteish Deshmukh appears to be a lookalike of the popular journalist.
It all started when Pakistani journalist Ahmer Naqvi got confused between Arnab and actor Riteish. Naqvi and tweeted a picture of a billboard advertising Arnab's to be launched news channel, Republic.
While the advertisement with Arnab's photo mentioned him as "Pakistan's migraine", Naqvi thought it is Riteish's photo and he tweeted, "Why is Riteish Deshmukh our national migraine?"
The actor soon noticed the tweet and showed his witty side by sharing another picture. Replying to Riteish, Naqvi added, "I genuinely thought it was Ritesh and realised its because I've never seen Arnab with his mouth shut so had no context".

This entire episode gave Twitterati a great time as they started considering Riteish to be an apt figure to play Arnab's biopic. A host of funny responses to the confusion started pouring in.
Some time back, Twinkle Khanna took a funny jibe at Arnab in regard to the promotions of his channel on Twitter. The promos had showed Arnab writing letters to some politicians, and informing them about his come back.
Twinkle flaunted her sarcasm by sharing a video of her daughter Nitara and said, "Instead of writing letters perhaps Arnab should try incorporating these less ambiguous moves in his next video #CutCutCut".
