After Ahaan Panday and Vedang Raina, influencer Tanzeel Khan joins the doppelgänger multiverse as Saiyaara release breaks the internet

Just when fans were recovering from the visual déjà vu between Bollywood’s new heartthrobs Ahaan Panday and Vedang Raina, social media dropped a wild twist, Tanzeel Khan, the OG internet creator, joined the mix. And no, this is not a joke. It is giving triplet energy in high definition.



The memes were already thriving when Ahaan’s Saiyaara stills were placed next to Vedang’s brooding poses. Wavy hair, sharp jawlines, intense gazes, the resemblance was unreal. But now, Instagram reels are showing Tanzeel’s close-ups... and the internet is spiralling. Fans swear these three are the same man just rebranded in different aesthetics.



If you have been on the internet since the Musical.ly days, you already know Tanzeel Khan. He was that smooth-transition king, part of the iconic DAMNFAM clan with Mrunu Panchal, Anirudh Sharma, Manav, and Unnati. But he didn’t stop there, Tanzeel also dipped into music, dropping soulful tracks and carving a solid space in the indie scene.


Fast forward to now, and Tanzeel is going viral for something completely different: looking like Ahaan Panday’s twin from another timeline. Reels with side-by-sides of Tanzeel and Ahaan have fans screaming in the comments, claiming the resemblance is “too damn uncanny to be real.”



It started with people casually pointing it out. Now it is a full-blown meme war. X (formerly Twitter) is flooded with “Ahaan-Vedang-Tanzeel” edits, wild conspiracies, and even movie plot suggestions. One user joked, “Can we get a Bollywood thriller with all three playing conmen brothers who do identity swaps?” Honestly, sign us up.



The viral caption that really broke the internet? “We got the male version of Raveena-Twinkle. But now there’s a third one. Is this a glitch in the matrix or Bollywood’s best prank yet?”


In case you forgot how this madness started—Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is now the highest-grossing Hindi debut film ever with Rs 83 crore in just three days. And all this without traditional pre-release promo. Director Mohit Suri clearly knew what he was doing, just like Aashiqui 2 days.


And while Ahaan and Aneet take over cinemas, Tanzeel Khan is taking over timelines. Maybe it is time for Bollywood to cast all three and give the internet the chaotic cinematic crossover it deserves.
