'Ohh! Your face looks so familiar! You look so much like a friend of mine!'

Ever came across such a comment? Or may be found someone on Instagram, who looks exactly like some actor. Well, this calls for a DNA test. 

Wondering why? The latest study published in the journal Cell Reports claims that look-alikes or dopplegangers who are unrelated may share more than just facial features with each other. 

The researchers conducted a study among pairs of participants who do not share any immediate relatives between them and also live in different countries. 

They conducted a DNA evaluation of the participants' oral swabs and found that the participants were not only recognized as twins by the algorithm but also shared several similarities in their DNA. 

So, now you know, what to do next when you come across your own doppelganger. Wink, wink. :)
