Arshad Khan, aka #Chaiwala

[gslv]

He should open a chaiwala di dhamaal in Islamabad and become a professional.

 

[Saba Ali Malik]

Arshad Khan, the famous chal wala is 18 years old which means that he was born in 1998. He was born in Islamabad where his family moved 25 years ago. Originally, he and his family belong to Mardan. The name of his village in Mardan is still unknown. Arshad Khan got popularity when a female photographer Jiah in Islamabad at Sunday Market captured his photo while he was preparing the chai (tie) for his customers in the busy market.

Family and other person information:
Khan belongs to a Pathan family and has 17 siblings. His family moved to Islamabad for better future and in the search of better job. Today, Khan is living with his is the family in Islamabad.

Education and Career:
Arshad Khan did not attend any school nor has any formal and basic education background. He cannot even understand very common words of English language and also having a bit difficulty to understand some words of Urdu. Since the age of 14, Arshad Khan is working in Islamabad. He starts working at such a small age because of poor family background. He starts working as a tea vendor in Sunday market of Islamabad three year ago. In his interview with a TV channel, he mentioned his daily fixed earning "Dhiyari" which is only 500 Pakistani Rupees. So, monthly he is earning RS 15000 by selling chai.

In his interview with different TV channels, he mentioned that he will not work as actor or model and prefer to be a chai wala in future but later with another interview, he shows his interest to be a model and perform in movies as well. He is also inspired by English movies most.

First modeling contract:
Recently a local brand of Islamabad has signed a contract with him in which Arshad Khan will perform for their products as a model. So, we are hoping that in future, this modeling contract with help Arshad Khan to gain more popularity and financial support. But till now we have to wait to see his new look and how well he performed in front of a professional camera as a model.

Iranians and Tajiks, as well as Balochs, have also noses similar to Pashtuns


Actually very few Pashtuns have noses like Bacha Khan............our (as well as of Iranians) noses are not small and thin like Europeans but also not exaggeratedly big .......Kashmiris also have characteristically very long and big noses.


Chitrali men are very short-stature people , extremely short.............good looking people though

Chitralis are not that short and Pashtoons are not that tall. From personal experience I know Pashtoon are of normal height of around 5.8. I don't know where these super tall Pashtoon live.

Remember the brazenly handsome chaiwala (tea-seller) who made waves in Pakistan a few years ago? Arshad Khan became a social media sensation when a picture of him went viral in social media back in 2016.

Well, where is he now? After a few modeling gigs, we haven’t heard of him. Why hasn’t he been walking for a designer, or cast in movies?

Relax folks, cuz the good news is that he didn’t fade out. While Arshad was on a hiatus for six months since January 2017, he became the face of Pehchan Mall, a popular shopping destination. Previously the gig used to be handled by a Salman Khan look-alike.

But now he’s back in showbiz business and ready to make a splash all again.

Chai Wala Has a New Manager
This is all thanks to his new manager Kazim Hasan. Arshad believes that his previous managers did not always act in his best interests, and pay him properly. Hasan handles Arshad’s PR and marketing now.

“I trust Kazim………..He is like a father to me, and he has my best interests at heart. Even if he beat me in front of 100 people, I would still love him.”

Hasan is the man behind the return of Arshad Khan, and he’s relaunching him with style on his 18th birthday party.

Why was Arshad Khan on a hiatus to begin with? Let’s start with the beginning.

What Sparked the Chaiwala Phenomenon?

One fateful day in September 2016 the 17-year-old Arshad Khan started off his regular day. As usual, he headed out to work as a tea seller at his local Itwar Bazaar (Sunday market) in Islamabad.

Arshad had been doing this for four years by then. Being one of 17 siblings, he didn’t have the privilege of obtaining an education.

This day was different because of an aspiring photographer Jiah Ali. While the teenage chai-wala was wrapping up for the day at 8pm, Jiah caught his blue-eyed gaze on camera.

She then posted the picture on Instagram a month later with the caption “Hot tea”. The picture went viral and, that is how the Internet sensation ‘chai-wala’ came to be.

Within days, people from around the world, including his home country Pakistan, were discussing the chai wala’s astonishing good looks.

Soon Islamabad’s chai-wala was an ‘International Bae’. Arshad thought he was just an average Pashtun. In fact, he wasn’t even considered the most good-looking amongst his siblings either.

“I didn’t know that my looks were out of the ordinary. I think all Pashtun people are good-looking, so I didn’t think of myself as being special. My older brother says he is much more handsome than me.”

Rags-to-Riches
After his new found fame, Arshad didn’t know what he wanted to do but everyone else wanted to cash in. Online retailer Fitin.pk rushed to sign the budding star and that is how he got his first apparel modeling gig.

I really hope this chai wala who has now got a modeling gig of sorts isn't just dicked over and discarded in a month or two. Would be cruel.

His first shoot modeling a range of its clothes got mixed reviews. Some loved the polished look. Others thought it took away from the authenticity of what made him famous.

More modeling assignments followed and Arshad was invited to almost all national talk shows. His ‘big break’ was being featured in popular singer Muskan Jay’s music video for her song Beparwai.

Family Feud
While that’s what should have further elevated his career, it almost tanked it. Arshad’s conservative family didn’t like him getting too chummy with women (even if it was make-believe).

This is what Arshad said in an interview:

“They were really upset……….They told me not to do such a thing again, and my mother used the word ‘vulgar’.”

Then came the rumors that his family had forbidden him from working in the entertainment industry. Arshad’s manager Kazim Hasan explained that though there were some issues, his family is ok with him working in the showbiz industry again. With one caveat – Arshad is no longer allowed to get to close to females.

Meanwhile, the controversy around his nationality cost Arshad a spot at the prestigious Milan Fashion Week, where he was invited to represent Carrera sunglasses.

What’s Next?
Other opportunities include Arshad Khan’s performance in television drama Chaiwala & Friends. Chaiwala & Friends cast Ali Fateh, Malik Aqeel and TV host and actor Mariam Salman with Arshad Khan. The show will follow chai-wala and the team as they attend film premieres, interview actors and politicians, and visit new restaurants and cafes.
