It is not uncommon for fans to find a striking resemblance between various actors over the years.

The black and white images clicked decades ago feature a young Mini looking lovely. Sharing the images, Mini Mathur wrote, “A couple of photographs rediscovered amidst spring cleaning that remind me of the gentle, trusting, easily pleased me with a heart full of hope... a believer of possibilities. Meh. I'm certainly more fun now.” In response to her post, fans and friends of Mini Mathur lost no time to point out how similar she looked to Madhubala.

That's not all. In her note, Mini Mathur also shared details of the two images. She wrote, “Photo 1: Shot by @suvodas22 after we had finished a campaign shoot (i know because one eye is small out of exhaustion) I was taking off my makeup and he said hold it .. the light is lovely. Photo 2: My very first professionally taken picture by Bonnie Hazuria. I didn't know how to pose, wore a top that belonged to my cousin @preetiendlaw … didn't even blow dry my hair despite a ridiculous perm but got a ton s*it of modelling campaigns after these went out.”
