The recently released Prime Video series 'Off Campus' has been dominating social media conversations since its debut on May 13. While audiences are loving the chemistry between the lead actors, another performer who has unexpectedly become the centre of attention is actress Mika Abdalla. Many viewers online believe the actor bears an uncanny resemblance to Bollywood star Mahima Chaudhry, especially from her 'Pardes' days.
Social media flooded with comparisons
A video clip featuring Mika Abdalla dancing in the series recently went viral on Instagram, sparking a wave of reactions from fans. One user hilariously wrote, "Plot twist: Mahima Chaudhary's real daughter was in 'Off Campus' all along," while sharing old photos of the Bollywood actor.
The comments section was soon filled with similar observations. One fan remarked, "That's what I thought too. She is just a replica of Mahima. That side look." Another wrote, "True bro, she does look like Mahima Chaudhary." A different user commented, "Tbh I was thinking about it! Like damn, she literally looks like Mahima Chaudhary."
Some reactions were even more playful. One social media user joked, "If Hannah Montana and Mahima Chaudhry had an affair and delivered a baby." Another fan summed up the viral comparison by saying, "I thought I'm the only one who felt this, she's a dupe of Mahima Chaudhry from 'Pardes'."
