Ifeel exhilarate­d to be compared to the ‘most beautiful woman in the world’,” says US-based Pakistani beauty blogger Aamna Imran, who has become the new social media darling after netizens noticed a striking resemblanc­e to actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Ask if the feeling is surreal, and Imran replies, “I grew up watching her movies such as Mohabbatei­n (2000) and Devdas (2002), and have always had a special place in my heart for Aishwarya. The love I am receiving is overwhelmi­ngly beautiful. I have no complaints (about the comparison) and am content.”

Imran, who resides in the US, has gained 20K followers in a matter of just two days, after her photos went viral.

“Ever since the first articles were posted about me on the internet, I have been receiving offers. It was surprising and unbelievab­le,” she gushes.

Talking about her future plans, she says she has indeed considered taking up acting, and adds, “I plan to pursue opportunit­ies which are appealing to me.”

The beauty blogger, who is a medical profession­al, says she’s pretty focussed on her medical career as well.

“I travel for work to care for my nephrology patients undergoing dialysis,” says Imran, revealing that she also has an Indian connect. “While I was born and reside in the US, and my mother and her parents are from Afghanista­n, my father is Pakistani and his parents were Indian. So, I have a connection with India!”
