Hottie of the week: Tapu Javeri
Marital Status: Single
Born: May 5
Horoscope: Taurus
Who is he?
Tapu Javeri, ace celebrity/fashion photographer, budding entrepreneur, jewellery designer and radio jockey, is the boy-next-door (and never mind the age) we all want to bake cookies for. He is the Mike Delfino of Pakistan and while the ladies can’t really go to him with their problems, they can skim Photography 101 just to have a brief conversation with Tapu. From judging the LSAs to launching three books and designing T shirts for Maheen Khan’s label Gulabo, Javeri has proven that he has the golden touch.
Why he’s droolworthy
His good boy looks paired with that devil-may-care stubble and that endearing, distinctive enunciation (that’s nothing dirty, we assure you) make us want to tattoo ‘caution: HOT!’ on his forehead. That white-as-frosting complexion, ginger hair and sweet conduct triggers our sugar-craving. We’d like one Tapu Javeri with extra chocolate sauce, please!
We have fallen for the coyness this photographer shows in public gatherings. I mean, if we were as scrumptious as him we’d probably start charging people just to be around us but Tapu manages to be in the limelight without any Kardashian-esque controversies to his credit.
But it’s his skill with the camera that seals the deal. We love a man who’s dexterous with equipment — we’re sure Tapu pushes all the right buttons. We’re ready for our close ups now.
His single status makes him appear tantalisingly available, but ladies, be warned, this man is “married to his line of work”.
Why he’s a keeper
Besides being a photography demi-god and stupendously good at everything else he does, Tapu has incredible taste in music and could put on a song to match every mood. He’s one to focus on the positive, drawing inspiration for his work from “the loving and cultural side of my country” while ignoring the harsher side. This hottie’s mantra — “life is long enough to do everything you desire” — means he’ll never give you a lame excuse for falling short on expectations. Tapu says his ideal woman is someone who “lives life to the fullest, never gets intimidated by anything, and follows her heart, not the Joneses.”

@maasi museebte
Agree with you on the "complexion" bit. That's called racism - pure and straight. I wait for the day when South Asia will wake up to the fact that that is what it is when we talk like that. And especially so when we all know we belong to a culture that considers dark people inferior - it's not the same as e.g. when a white person were to admire the tan of a South American. The culltural context makes a huge difference.
He's a very attractive man although I don't know what his "white-as-frosting complexion" has to do with it. While I would like to applaud the Trib's egalitarian values, I think the last paragraph is a bit misguided. He does bat for the other side, you know?
where hes from he doesnt look south asian (indian diversity)
Although my forever love is Imran Khan, I adore Tapu Javeri too!
