Still
fresh in our minds is the story of Olajumoke, a Lagos bread seller who
photo-bombed a shoot and became an overnight celebrity. A yet another
tea vendor in the street snapped by a photographer has become an
internet sensation.
The photo of the teenage tea vendor gone viral online
An 18-year-old man identified as Arshad Khan who was just another
face in a crowded Sunday market in the Pakistani capital, where he made a
tea for his customers, has turned into a social media sensation. And
that was just the start of his journey.
According to reports making rounds online which has already gone
viral on social media, the young handsome man, was mistakenly snapped a
few months ago by a photographer known as Javeria.
Reports revealed that the images of Khan, with his blue eyes,
beard, and thick locks, went viral online and quickly spread all over
Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, after the photograpger shared the
snaps online on Saturday, October 15.
It is said that by the end of the day on October 17, #ChaiWala
(which means tea seller) was the top trending topic on Pakistani
Twitter. It wasn’t long before Twitter across the border in India began
swooning. The trend went on – and the next stop was, London.
Speaking to a local TV, Khan revealed that, ‘Some 40 to 50 girls
have visited me since morning.’ And when asked if he is open to acting
in movies, Khan, without as much as batting an eyelid, said, ‘Sure I
will.’
And just yesterday, October 18, Khan was reportedly signed up by
online retailer Fitin to model for a company. Shortly, he was spotted
clean-shaven, wearing a dapper two-piece suit, with hair gelled. A far
cry from what you see in the lead image.
This is yet another story that proves that God will surely remember
you no matter where you are or what you are doing. Keep working working
hard, you're helper is at the corner!
