“I feel 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 her for her 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 Rai. The love I am receiving is overwhelmingly beautiful. I have no complaints (about the comparison) and am content.”

Aamna Imran, who resides in the USA, has gained 20K followers in a matter of 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,” says Imran.

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 treatments,” says Imran, revealing that she also has an India 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!”
