A Blue-Eyed Pakistani Chaiwala Is Internet's Latest Crush

 

A chaiwala, or tea seller - Arshad Khan, from Islamabad in Pakistan is ruling the Internet for his looks.

Soon after a photo of him went viral on social media platforms, Internet users were smitten by this Khan's 'hot', 'supermodel' features. Many called him Pakistan's 'nuclear weapon'.

Khan came to Internet's notice when a photographer called Jiah Ali posted a photo of him on her Instagram handle after which it went viral on all social media platforms.

Jiah Ali was quoted telling The International Business Times (IBT) that she found him in the Itwar Bazaar area of Islamabad during a photo-walk she participated in a few months ago.

"I took his picture during a photowalk I attended a few months back, but shared the post recently on Instagram and someone shared it on other social media platforms after which it went viral," Jiah said.

Soon after the photo went viral, Khan became an Internet sensation and started trending on Twitter in Pakistan with the hashtag #Chaiwala.

While many social media users were smitten by his blue eyes and brooding look, others were in disbelief that a man with his looks could be selling tea and not modelling!

There were thousand of reactions on social media platforms with Internet users calling him 'Pakistan's surgical strike on Indian girls'. Others stated that modelling agencies should quickly sign him lest he should get busy after his overnight fame.

Some joked that he is more famous than Pakistan's President Mamnoon Hussain.

Here's a quick look at the reactions that the 'chaiwala' from Pakistan garnered.

At least we can all agree on one thing:

Pakistan's #ChaiWala is way way way better than India's #CoffeeWala.

hope chaiwala gets offered a gig from a designer, a cafe, or a net-savvy brand so this hype around him can at least benefit him in some way.
