The internet can’t get enough of this chaiwala from Islamabad

2016 has been a troubling year so far. There have been devastating breakups, horrifying endorsements and the looming possibility of Patanjali jeans in the near future. But it seems like the Universe has decided to reward us finally. Behold, the chaiwala that has caught the fancy of the internet in the best way possible.

After seeing the frenzy she had unleashed, the photographer posted two more pictures of the man,who has since been identified as Arshad Khan, essentially proving that humanity still exists in the world.

While the fans were aplenty, there were some who were still unaffected by the phenomenon.

Ok tbh, that chaiwala is pretty basic.

There were some who saw this opportunity to be their punny best.

Chaiwala jokes are so generic. If you’ve heard one, you’ve heard Jamal.

But there were some who asked the real question.

When is that Pakistani chaiwala coming to Bollywood?

And then there were the jaded few with some predictions for the future.

There’s a good chance that the Paki chaiwala will soon be seen on Big Boss.

Khan has been offered a modelling contract (that came as no surprise!). He recently appeared on a talk show, Good Morning Pakistan, where he was given a makeover!
