From Chai Wala to Fashion Wala in a matter of days!

However, this was not just another social media trend that would soon be replaced by any other internet sensation without making any significant change in anyone’s life. The Chai Wala was soon tracked by the photographer herself and many media houses. Turns out, his name is Arshad Khan, an 18 year old boy who worked at a tea stall in Islamabad’s Sunday Bazar. But the story does not end here.

Following his newly found fame, Arshad was soon offered his first modelling campaign by Fitin.pk, an online shopping site based in Islamabad. Mr. Khan signed the offer and now we can see him donning the clothing line by the company on their website. Who would have anticipated that a single social media post could bring such a positive change in someone’s life! It is indeed the prevailing influence of social media in our lives that the message on the picture of Mr. Khan reads, “Chai Wala is no more Chai Wala. Now he is Fashion Wala.”
