A roadside eatery in Surat, known for its fried chicken, was crowded after news broke that Rahul Gandhi had been appointed vice-president of the Congress party which furthered people to turn up to playfully congratulate the owner Prashant Sethi, 24, because he has an mysterious strange resemblance to the Gandhi family descendant. In fact, Prashant played along and even threw an improvised party for his regulars.

To say more, those who know Sethi don't call him Prashant but call this second generation Punjabi migrant from Haryana as 'Rahul' which includes his wife Gunjan whom he recently married. In fact, his friends have even saved his mobile number as 'Rahul'. To stress, he even gets dimples like Rahul when he smiles!

Moreover, its that Prashant was inspired by Rahul's bid to hold elections within the Youth Congress about two years ago and even became a member. But he soon lost interest and concentrated on his business as he realized some people are friends with me only because I am a Rahul lookalike and it seems some clients even get themselves photographed with him to upload on Facebook.

Having gained popularity of his food place, Prashant aspires to it turned into a restaurant and also invite Rahul Gandhi for a meal to his restaurant.
