Arshad is JUST 18

Unaware of his world fame, Arshad had been hustling at the chai shop before the media swooped in on him.

 

He was a fruit seller before he started making the garma garam chai

He’s been working at the chai shop for only three months.

 

Arshad hails from Mardan, originally

He’s been living in the town of Golra Sharif near Islamabad, in search of better economic prospects.

And he comes from a BIG family

 

As soon as literally every news outlet in the country swooped in on Arshad to “make him a star” his friends started teasing him that he’d lose his job because he was posing for pictures and not making chai.

 

Well Arshad, you probably won’t have to be making tea in the near future, thanks to Jiah Ali:

Here’s Jiah posing for a photograph with MangoBaaz team member Haadia.
