This
has
to
be
the
most
bizarre
co-incidence
ever
to
have
happened
in
Hindi
cinema.
Just
when
we
have
Pakistani
cricketer
Shoaib
Malik
being
accused
of
bigamy
on
the
eve
of
his
wedding
to
Sania
Mirza,
there
is
Sajid
Khan"s
Housefull
coming
up
with
situation
that
bears
an
uncanny
resemblance.
In
the
comedy
Akshay
Kumar"s
wedding
to
Deepika
Padukone
is
rudely
interrupted
by
a
woman,
played
by
Jiah
Khan,
claiming
to
be
his
wife.
When
questioned
about
the
similarity
Akshay
Kumar
says,
“I
never
thought
of
it.
Now
that
you"ve
pointed
it
out
I
guess
there"s
a
resemblance.
Actually
I"ve
three
women
claiming
to
be
my
wife
in
the
film."
But
the
actual
sequence
where
Akshay"s
wedding
to
Deepika
is
interrupted
is
too
close
to
the
happenings
in
the
life
of
the
Pakistani
cricketer
and
Indian
tennis
player
to
be
a
coincidence.
Protests
the
director
Sajid
Khan,
“What
can
I
say,
except
that
this
is
a
case
of
life
imitating
art?
We
do
have
a
sequence
where
Akshay"s
wedding
is
interrupted
by
a
woman
claiming
to
be
his
wife.
Compounding
the
similarities
with
the
real-life
situation
which
are
grabbing
headlines
is
the
fact
that
the
first
wife"s
claims
are
not
as
simple
as
they
seem.
But
I
repeat
the
similarities
are
coincidental.
I
wrote
my
script
two
years
ago."
Be
as
it
might
the
similarity
between
Shoaib
Malik"s
and
Akshay
Kumar"s
predicament
seems
to
be
a
case
of
perfect
timing.
