In 2016, the entire nation went crazy when a local photographer clicked a picture of a very good looking chaiwala (tea maker), Arshad Khan. The picture went viral and Khan managed to get himself some modelling jobs and commercial contracts as well.

Shocking: 'Chaiwala' Arshad Khan quits showbiz

Likewise, this year a very handsome tarboozwala (watermelon seller) was introduced and the internet - again - couldn't help but obsess over the man.

Some said he was better looking than the chaiwala and most Bollywood and Hollywood celebrities.

Even Indians jumped on the bandwagon.

Hailing from KPK, Muhammad Awais is a medical student at Ziauddin University in Karachi. His friend, Muhammad Inshal confirmed that on Facebook.



Awais was distributing iftaar on the streets of Karachi when the viral picture was taken and people thought he was a fruit seller.

Being a good sport, Awais even changed his Facebook profile picture to the one that has gone viral, with a caption, "Dr Tarbooz Wala."
