Shah Rukh Khan Lookalike Ibrahim Qadri Says He Now Earns Up To ₹5 Lakh Per Event

The Gujarat native recounts a 2017 IPL crowd incident that spurred a shift from hand-to-mouth work to a globe-trotting impersonation career.

Overview

  • Qadri reports charging between ₹1.5 lakh and ₹5 lakh per appearance and says he is the highest‑paid SRK doppelganger.
  • He says he travels internationally for events and has built an Instagram following of about 2.3 million.
  • Before the attention, he painted hoarding boards in Junagadh and says he struggled to afford two meals a day as digital displays replaced his work.
  • He avoids comedy shows, arguing they make jokes about him and Shah Rukh Khan that he does not want to endorse.
  • He says he has chosen not to seek a meeting with Shah Rukh Khan and believes gigs he turns down often go to other lookalikes.
