MANY A TIMES WE COME ACROSS WONDERFUL FACTS OF LIFE WHICH ARE MORE FASCINATING THAN THE FASCINATIONS. TWO PEOPLE RESEMBLING EACH OTHER TOTALLY IS A VERY VERY RARE FACT, BUT IT MAY HAPPEN. TODAY IN THIS WORLD OF CLONING, SCIENCE HAS CREATED SUCH MYSTERIES THAT PRODUCING 100 PEOPLE LOOKING EXACTLY THE SAME IS NO MORE A FASCINATION OR DREAM. YOU MUST BE REMEMBERING THE WELL KNOWN PETITION OF SAINT BHOVAL. HE WAS THE PRINCE OF A STATE AND HAD MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED FROM HIS STATE. HE REAPPEARED AFTER A FEW YEARS. HIS RELATIVES THOUGHT THAT HE IS AN IMPOSTER, A FRAUD, WHO HAS COME TO CLAIM THE RICHES OF THE PRINCELY STATE. THIS PETITION WAS DRAGGED ALONG FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. DURING THE PESHWAI REIGN, THE IMPOSTER OF SADASHIVRAO HAD REACHED PUNE, BUT NANA PHADNIS S WITS EXPOSED HIM. THIS STORY OF THE SECOND LADY IS ALSO BASED ON SUCH SITUATION.
