Bollywood actor Imran Khan has often been mistaken for other actors or personalities with similar names. For instance, he had been texted on social media thinking that he was Irrfan Khan. In another incident, in the pretext of interviewing Pakistan's current Prime Minister Imran Khan, the actor was even interviewed by a journalist.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane actor Imran Khan has been flooded with congratulatory messages on "winning the throne in Pakistan as the Prime Minister". On Tuesday, the actor, Aamir Khan's nephew posted a screenshot of the email he'd received, in which the sender addressed him, "Dear Prime Minister".
