Not everyone has a fate like Sonam Gupta. If you share a name with someone as famous as Chris Martin of Coldplay, rest assured, you will milk the opportunities it brings along with it.

Because that's precisely what happened with this British guy, whose name is also Chris Martin, but who is not the Chris Martin. He is a comedian who has a verified Twitter account and that's probably what got Indian fans of Coldplay confused.

For after the band's India gig at the Global Citizen Festival, this Londoner gained over 1000 Indian followers on Twitter!

People obviously mistook him for the real Chris Martin

To the 500 Indian followers I gained in the last day I'm not in Coldplay. I'm sure Chris was great in Mumbai but I can't pass on the message — Chris Martin (@ChrisMcomedy) November 19, 2016

He even changed his Twitter bio which now reads

"NOT IN COLDPLAY. Currently HUGE in India. Above average height for a British man. Podcast http://www.carlandchrispodcast.com . Instagram chrismcomedy Okay Bye."

And his profile picture is a message for all Indian Coldplay fans

The followers crossed one thousand and the guy decided to milk in on the opportunities

.@ChrisMcomedy Now got a 1000 more followers, but compared to Indian population that's only 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000.1 % of you — Chris Martin (@ChrisMcomedy) November 20, 2016

Martin asked his new fan following to get him a ticket for the upcoming test match between India and England

.@ChrisMcomedy let's take advantage: can any of my new Indian followers hook me up with tickets to the next cricket test match please?? — Chris Martin (@ChrisMcomedy) November 20, 2016

He even tweeted to Sachin Tendulkar

.@ChrisMcomedy Hi @sachin_rt as we're now great mates and I've got loads of new Indian fans.

You got any tickets for the next test going? — Chris Martin (@ChrisMcomedy) November 20, 2016

Twitter is such a wonderful place!
