A chai wala has become an overnight social media sensation in Pakistan not for his excellent ‘chai’ making skills but over his extremely photogenic look.
The man with big green eyes who was photographed not preparing some tasty “doodh patti’ or “kahwa”, but for his killer eyes and dashing looks by Jiah Ali, a photographer, in Islamabad and was an instant hit as soon as his picture was posted on Instagram.
Within no time, ChaiWala became a top Twitter trend with girls going crazy for the man. Some said that this was their answer to Momina Mustahsan, a Coke Studio singer, who also become popular among Pakistani males for her bird-like voice.
The Twitter was flooded with tweets about the good looks of the chai wala whose real name has not been revealed yet, but he is said to be working at a stall in the federal capital.

Some Facebook users couldn’t let this opportunity go and took a hit at our neighbours.
The news made all the way across the border to India, where people could not stop complimenting his looks. Even BuzzFeed India couldn’t help but spread the word.
Pakistanis don’t just make good chai, they even look really good while making it.
