Actor and host Paritosh Tripathi seems to have taken inspiration from veteran actor Amol Palekar's iconic look from the 1979 film 'Gol Maal' for his recent appearances on a dance reality show.

Taking to his social media account, Paritosh shared a side-by-side comparison of his look and Amol Palekar's still from the classic film. He captioned the post in Hindi that translates to, "Who all think I look like Amol Palekar."

Theatre artist and Raj Babbar's daughter Juhi Babbar, replied in the comments: "Mujh ko (To me) !!!"

In the images, Paritosh is seen sporting a neatly combed hairstyle, a thin moustache and a simple traditional outfit, impeccably resembling Amol Palekar's middle-class look from his hit movie'Gol Maal'.

Paritosh Tripathi, known for his comic timing and anchoring skills, has hosted several television shows. He has been a part of dance-based reality shows such as 'Super Dancer' and has also appeared in films including 'Janahit Mein Jaari'.

Talking about the superhit movie, 'Golmaal', it was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and released in 1979. The movie remains one of Bollywood's most celebrated comedies. The film starred Amol Palekar, Utpal Dutt, Bindiya Goswami and Deven Verma in pivotal roles.

The storyline revolved around a young man who after many failed attempts finally secures a job but under a strict and traditional employer.

He then ends up leading a double life to maintain his employment leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings and disguises, making it a cult comedy over the years. The film was both a critical and commercial success.

Spot on! The hairstyle and that thin moustache are a perfect match. It's a great homage to Amol Palekar sir, one of the finest actors of that era. Our current comedians should study his subtle timing.

I see the similarity in the still, but let's be honest, Amol Palekar's charm and that innocent confusion were in a league of their own. Paritosh is a good host, but comparing him to a legend feels a bit forced. Just my respectful opinion.

This is so wholesome! It's lovely to see actors paying tribute to the classics. Makes me want to rewatch Gol Maal this weekend. The comedy was so clean and heartwarming.

Bas, picture dekh ke pura 70s-80s ka vibe aa gaya! Our parents' generation had such iconic, relatable cinema. Good on Paritosh for bringing this look back, even if just for a show. Juhi Babbar's comment is the cherry on top!

Absolutely! The side-by-side comparison is convincing. It's more than just the clothes and moustache; he's got the expression down too. Fun bit of news amidst all the serious headlines.
