    New Delhi: If you get a glimpse of his precious silver locks and wrinkled face, you just can't look away. He is a mirror image of our former President APJ Abdul Kalam.

    Sixty one-year-old Vijay Singh, who has been driving his mean machine on Delhi's roads for the past 40 years, recently changed his name to Vijay Abdul Kalam.

    And it's not just his looks. This old man also shares his love for children with the former president.

    When asked what's it like to be a duplicate, Vijay said, “When I'm driving, a lot of time people stop and stare. Many of them almost had an accident.”

    There is also Sanjay Talwar, a bus driver by profession who has been driving bus number 108 from Nehru Vihar to Hari Nagar Ghanta Ghar for the past 14 years.

    But a closer look at him leaves you stunned. He's a carbon copy of yoga king Baba Ramdev right down to the twitching eye. But Talwar has managed to win himself quite a few devotees.

    “People of all ages come and touch my feet. Everyone is convinced I'm Baba Ramdev,” says Talwar.

    So not only are the two versions of President Kalam and Baba Ramdev good friends, they've also acted together in plays and won several awards.
