Arshad Khan, aka #Chaiwala, will make his runway debut today

Just when we thought that Pakistan’s most popular tea vendor Arshad Khan's five minutes of fame were over, news comes in that he is making his foray into runway modeling tonight.

According to the PR managers of the ongoing Bridal Couture Week in Lahore, Arshad Khan is walking as showstopper for Ziggi Menswear, a UK-based menswear brand that specialises in making groomswear for “the modern Majaraja”.

Who knows where he could go from here?

Arshad Khan was spotted looking quite gentlemanly in a cobalt blue suit at Faletti's Hotel, where Bridal Couture Week is being held. Wonder if he'll swap for the suit for a Ziggi sherwani?

Arshad Khan was discovered at Sunday Bazaar chai stall while going about his usual business of making tea. Photographer Jiah Ali took his picture during a weekend photo walk and uploaded it on social media, not knowing the photograph was soon to go viral.

Apart from instantly gaining legions of female fans, Arshad Khan also got a modeling contract with retail site fitin.pk and even strutted his stuff at a makeshift runway on a morning show soon after.

Looks like he's already got some practice for his formal runway debut tonight!
