Spot the difference: RPG Group boss is convinced Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde is his doppelgänger

Every person has six doppelgängers out there in the world, according to science.

Scientists believe only one in one trillion people can share the exact facial features as you. Hence, in a population of more than 7 billion people, the world can have seven doppelgängers looking the same.

Harsh Goenka is convinced he has found his. In a recent tweet, the RPG Enterprises Chairman again implied that Maharashtra's new Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is his doppelgänger.


Posing as Shinde for his 1.7 million Twitter followers, the 64-year-old apologised to his fans in advance for anyone who faces difficulty in meeting him. "I know my Z+ security can be a nuisance. Look forward to your support. Jai Maharashtra," he wrote in his tweet.


His quirky post got a lot of love and appreciation from his industry friends and followers. The post got more than 100 retweets and was liked by over 3,700 people in less than 24 hours.

Robert Vadra’s brother-in-law Tehseen Poonawalla said that he hopes Goenka's Z+ security has its Z+ security with Ceat Tyres for the cars and escort vehicles.


Entrepreneur and political analyst Satyajeet Tambe also spotted the difference between the two. He said that while Shinde rarely smiles, Goenka has a nice smiling face.

Goenka realised the Maharashtra CM was his look-alike about two weeks ago.

Last month, the businessman shared a collage of himself with Shinde. In his tweet, he wrote, "In Guwahati, if anyone wants to reach me."


In the wake of the political crisis in Maharashtra, a group of Maharashtra MLAs led by Shinde camped up at a luxury hotel in Assam's Guwahati.

The Maharashtra MLAs reached the BJP-ruled state on June 22 morning by a charter aircraft from Surat and were taken to a luxury hotel on the outskirts of Guwahati amid tight security.

Shinde and his 46 MLAs were taken to Surat from Mumbai a day before, and the decision to shift them to Guwahati was taken on security grounds.

Shinde was named the Maharashtra CM following a revolt against Shiv Sena-led government in the state.
