A blue eyed chaiwala from Pakistan inadvertently became an internet sensation after a Pakistani photographer posted his picture on social media.
Arshad Khan, who works as a tea seller at Islamabad’s Sunday Bazaar was photographed by Jiah Ali on October 14, and has since secured a modelling contract.
The brother of 17 siblings saw his photo go viral accompanied by the hashtag #chaiwala.
Arshad now has a modelling contract with an online retailer who stated “Chaiwala is no more chaiwallah, now he is fashion wala!”
