What is the most unusual way someone has become famous


Oh boy, I got someone for you.

This is Arshad Khan. He was a tea seller in Islamabad, Pakistan. But guess what? He didn’t knew he was going to be famous because of this one image of his.

Photographer named Jiah Ali took this photo and sent it on their Instagram. Pakistani media went crazy over this guy soon enough and overnight he was popular.

What’s so special about this person? Maybe his blue eyes with thick eyelashes and perfect jaw? Maybe the pose? But nonetheless, the guy blew up with this one picture under the title “Chai Wala” (Tea Seller)

He got so famous that he was invited to Morning shows, he was heavily featured on several news channels, he took part in numerous songs, including popular singer Muskan Jay’s music video for her song Beparwai.

If that doesn’t impress you, he also has a TV show called Chaiwala & Friends. Arshad Khan is now a model, and he is learning English and computers.

Sooner or later, he is going to go abroad to Dubai or UK, but before that he needs to practice more modelling.

Chaiwala, before and after fame.

Who could have thought that an illiterate tea-seller would turn into a celebrity by one picture.
