However, now Arbaaz has himself decided to jump into the joke. In a new monochrome advertisement, Arbaaz is seen transforming into Federer.
In an advertisement, Arbaaz introduces himself and said, “I am tennis legend Federer and this is how I became the world’s greatest player.” In the video, Arbaaz is warming up on a tennis court while explaining how he aka Federer became a champion.

The memes about Arbaaz’s resemblance to Federer first surfaced online around 2019. The actor had acknowledged the fact and had said in an interview with Hindustan Times, “ I’m aware of this similarity that is being drawn. Not sure if he [Federer] is aware, too (laughs). But, but I’d love to meet him in person. I’m a huge Federer fan. I’ve come to know that he has a house in Dubai and when he plays the Dubai Open, he stays there. I plan to try and meet him during that time.”
