Arshad Khan's latest photoshoot is like nothing you've seen before.

As his fame skyrockets, people left, right and centre find every opportunity to grab on to the new model for their projects and one of them is Lux Style Award-nominated photographer/stylist Azeem Sani who recently had Arshad pose for a 'wet look' photoshoot.

Yes. It actually happened.

"When I told him that we'll be shooting in the pool, he was cool about it," shares the stylist/photographer Azeem Sami. "He said, 'The water will be cold, but I'll do it.' I think wo shalwar kameez pehen pehen ke bore ho gia tha (he was bored of doing shalwar kameez shoots) and wanted to do something different. I shot him for five to 10 minutes in the water and uss ne mujhay tang nahi kia (he didn't cause any problems)."

Still, Azeem thinks Arshad has a long way to go.

"The problem right now is that he's very desi. He has a totally plain look and until someone gives him a proper haircut and wardrobe, he can't be transformed. And he's not easy at all to work with. I had to tell him everything, but he was listening to and understanding what I was saying, so that's good."

Photographer/stylist Azeem Sani weighs in on Arshad Khan's potential, "As people like him and respond to him, Arshad's getting more and more energy. He'll do better with practice."

"I see him doing better in commercials as opposed to modelling. He looks better chalta phirta (while moving). He has great hair, great skin. Shampoo, soap commercials can totally be his thing, even if starts with a small brand."

"He's only 17 years old, I want to see what he's doing five years down. As people like him and respond to him, he's getting more and more energy. He'll do better with practice."

"Yeah, he's probably 17. You can tell from his body, it's like a child's."

We'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Wolverine's got nothing on him, especially with those furrowed eyebrows and water dripping down his beard, neck... chest... everywhere.

Look #3

And then he decides to channel Hamza Ali Abbasi. We all remember his Jawani Phir Nahi Ani trailer!

Let's just hope Arshad doesn't regret the shoot like Hamza did!

Is there an eye who can pick sincere leaders, effective politicians, honest judges, competent public servants, innovative educators and respondible citizens for Pakistan? Let's pause the ongoing talent hunt of actors, singers, dancers, comedians and other performers for the time being.

Of course he is desi. He is an illerate, poor chaiwala from a small town not an Oxford graduate of a rich politician/businessman tycoon. Leave him alone. Give him the time to groom for heavens sake!

As chai wala , man had independence, now he is the victim of glamour and is being seen through the lense of camera. He has lost his natural looks, now he is at the mercy of photographers.

Currently, he looks out of place. I'm not sure this modelling thing is for him. There is no desire, passion in his pictures. He just seems to be doing it for the money I think. Maybe he'll grow into his role, or maybe not? time will tell.

His charm lies in the fact that he is ' desi ' .......take that away and he becomes another handsome face........and that you don't want.

If his being desi is a 'problem' that comes in the way of his being able to be successful in modeling (posing with stuff so it sells) in you own 'des', then there is something seriously wrong in the psyche of the people who are at the helm of affairs. Or, if by 'desi' you mean uncultured, uncouth, that is even more sad.

Of course he is desi! And what in God's name is wrong with that?! He is just a salt of the earth kind of poor kid who left home to earn a living...And was hit by the big, bad, superficial and vicious world full of people who want to get rich/richer by using his face and of wannabes who are neither desi nor pardesi!!! Can anyone imagine someone entering such a world full of hypocritical glamour, when he doesn't even watch the TV because he doesn't have one!! I only hope he survives this.
