It is amazing how things suddenly change. An 18-year-old chai-wala Arshad Khan from Pakistan shot to fame for his looks when he was clicked by a photographer in Pakistan. The photographer posted it on social media. Soon, the photograph went viral and the blue-eyed chai-wala became internet hot sensation.
The Instagram post on October 14 by aspiring photographer Jiah Ali went viral and caused a sensation with #chaiwala being among the top Twitter trends on Monday. The story has also been picked by international media.
Now, he has been offered a fashion assignment. He has already been signed by Retail site fitin.pk as a model. His first shoot has already been out.
Arshad belongs to Kohat and has been making tea at Sunday Bazaar for three-months now. He has never attended a school in his life. He was also unaware when he was clicked. His family was initially reluctant about all the attention that he was getting. Now, as reported, he is comfortable with all the stardom.
