In Hollywood, we often find superheroes juggling between two identities and job descriptions. Clark Kent is a photographer with Daily Planet, but turns into Superman. Bruce Wayne is a successful industrialist who turns into Batman.

But those are stories with fictional characters interchanging personalities. One might think Monday in regular life is different. Or is it? Think twice!

We are not talking of Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne. We are talking about Samarpan Singh. And his story too is quite unique. The dude lives a life which some may dream of, but not many get to live.

Samarpan is a doctor by profession and takes care of people in medical need. But apart from his goal of nurturing lives, he has turned a new leaf in his career in the glam profession of acting.

Starting out a few months ago, playing the lead in LuvDown, a web series which appeared on Disney+ Hotstar, Samarpan is now gearing up for a debut in movies. He will soon be seen in a Hindi feature film titled O2.

And if you are wondering what role this doctor-actor is playing in O2, let us surprise you even more! The story of O2 revolves around the plight many faced during the Coronavirus pandemic, when there was a scarcity of oxygen cylinders for COVID-19 patients.

As if echoing the noble work Samarpan does in real life, the actor plays the lead character of a doctor with the nickname of Doctor Jugaad in O2, who tirelessly works on saving his patients during the pandemic.

Didn’t we say, Samarpan has a unique life! Let’s see. How does one articulate this !?! Something like they say, having the cake and eating it too. 😉 Right?

After a news report that debutant actor Samarpan Singh’s bearded look resembled that of Shahid Kapoor’s look as Dr Kabir in the superhit movie Kabir Singh, a section of the media has chosen to carry a rejoinder.

Disagreeing that Samarpan’s look resembles Kabir, the popular website India Shorts has stated that the actor’s rugged bearded suited-booted look, gait, style and attitude is closer to the look of the character of Rocky played by Yash in the more recent megahit KGF movies.

“He may be a Singh, and he may have a similar beard, and he may also be a doctor in real life. But nah, we’d say, he’s seems like stunning Rocky than crazy Kabir,” wrote the site.

“Yash aced it in KGF, and Samarpan is more like Yash’s character Rocky than the Dr Kabir of Kabir Singh. But yes, one thing we agree on and that is — the guy makes a good choice for Bollywood roles,” the site concluded.

For the record, the stylish Samarpan Singh made a rocking debut with the web series LuvDown on Disney+ Hotstar. The series has been watched with appreciation and anxiety by viewers during its initial run and has got a fresh lease on YouTube. Laced with sarcastic humour, LuvDown is a rom-com revolving around the story of a couple stuck together in a flat during the pandemic.
