Bollywood, here I come!

Usually when I walk onto the elevator to leave work at the end of the day, I am stuffed into a corner amongst many other busy New Yorkers who just can't wait to get out of the office. So, imagine my surprise when there was only one other person on the elevator. That is, until, this particular elevator dweller decided to share his thoughts.

Out of the blue, he turned to me and said:
"You look exactly like this actress we have in India. Everything about you looks like her, her name is Charmy. I have even told my wife about you."

Now, even though, as noted by Hailey's friend Sari, "that conversation went from nice to creepy REALLY quickly," I'm trying to figure out if this guy was right. So I (ok, Tom) looked this actress up, and I'd like to get everyone's opinion. Should I move to India and start my acting career, or was this guy smoking a little too much hookah?

Here she is --- what do you guys think?

I think it is sorta sweet. I wouldn't say it was creepy. He was complimenting you and the woman pictured is beautiful, so just take it as a compliment!

awww, believe me I took it as a compliment. Just the addition of "I've told my wife about you" struck people as slightly creepy...

There is a resemblance, for sure. Telling his wife isn't SO creepy, but I would check his desk for a shrine...
