Arshad Khan “Chaiwala” - Discussion Thread

[Mamoon]

What about the million other chaiwalas who are not lucky enough to be blessed by God with this guy's looks so that a hippy girl photographs them and spreads it in social media to create a new twitter trend? They would likely have to spend the rest of their lives in a cheap local chai shop.

Watu Izzu Mantasha, Watu Zillu Mantasha

Allah honors those He is pleased with and disgraces those He is not happy with.

I cannot tell what pleases/displeases Him.

Speaking of Fawad Khan, he was at his best when he worked in Pakistani dramas but Bollywood has ruined him.

Now he is just another generic male actor with that chiseled face, beard and super skinny outfits, and has lost the boyish charm that made him popular. He fits the Bollywood niche now but he was much better when he was in his own natural element.

Before:



After:



Thank you Bollywood for ruining him.

He has gained some muscle mass lately but it doesn't suit him either. He has become way too generic now.

Now that he is done with Bollywood for a while (thankfully), I hope he goes back to his original element.

The 18-year-old tea vendor, who has fast became Pakistan's hottest new celebrity after his photo went viral on the Internet says he has no plans of pursuing an acting career - though he is flattered by the attention.

Arshad Khan became an overnight sensation this week when a photographer's Instagram shot of him working at his tea stall was shared tens of thousands of times.

The 18-year-old tea vendor, who has fast became Pakistan's hottest new celebrity after his photo went viral on the Internet says he has no plans of pursuing an acting career - though he is flattered by the attention.

Arshad Khan became an overnight sensation this week when a photographer's Instagram shot of him working at his tea stall was shared tens of thousands of times.

"It was all very baffling," said Khan, who has blue-green eyes, a wiry physique and a trim moustache. Khan is an ethnic Pashtun, a people living mostly in Pakistan and Afghanistan who sometimes have light skin and eyes, a testament to the region's history as a cultural crossroads of trade, conquering armies and colonialism.

Local news outlets have reported offers of modeling contracts and even a possible film career for Khan, but he says he's not interested.

"I have not thought about (acting in) movies, because it's not been done by anyone in our family," he said. Acting in films, he said "is not honourable work. Pashtuns always look for work that is honourable... If I can find some clean, honourable work, I will certainly do it."

Even if he did have acting aspirations, his opportunities may be limited by the escalating tensions between nuclear-armed neighbours Pakistan and India. There have already been calls in India for a ban on Pakistani actors and actresses in the country's giant Bollywood film industry.

Despite his lack of interest in acting, Khan said he has come to enjoy his sudden - albeit possibly brief - moment of fame: "I came to know this morning that I am very good looking," he said. "All these people are coming and taking pictures and videos of me."

How is modelling diff from films?

Massive respect. Don't know about the movie industry in Pakistan, but in Bollywood it is all about selling your soul in order to rise. That is why it is sad when these bolly actors are treated as heroes and intellectuals.

He actually looks better in the beard imo. Used to look like a "chila howa anda" before that.

It is sad. In fact the saddest part is that the rich and diverse Indian culture has been reduced to what is being displayed by Bollywood. I don't blame the actors for it, who doesn't want more fame and money, more power to them. It's Indian publics massive infatuation with glamour, beauty and celebrity. They are so barren and hollow from inside that they have to attach themselves to such superficial and perfunctory objects.

Beard is less of an issue than the weight loss in my opinion. It has ruined his face and charm.

He looked much better earlier (zindagi gulzaar hai). It seemed if he woke up in the morning, he would still have minty fresh breath even without brushing his teeth. After bollywood, it seems that he will have the fake smell of perfumes and not his natural freshness.

 

[Dios]

Fawad Khan is much better looking now. He was an average looking guy without the beard and with the extra weight.

 

[ethan hunt]

His weightloss/gain has nothing to do with bollywood.
Its his health condition . He is diabetic .
Beard or no beard he is one of the few people who can pull of both looks . He has always been a looker even when he was a rockstar with EP.

Have met him on many occasions at events in lahore and he actually is very goodlooking unlike stars who only look good with makeup. Thats the first thing sonam kapoor said about him.




Lol my contributiin to making this thread bizzare is immense

 

[yasir]

Every other urdu speaker I met in America has khan as their last name, it's so common. Khan is a title, Pashtuns don't own it, it was brought to you guys mughals or imposed cause of mongol invasions so you have no right to claim that a Punjabi or Sindhi or Baloch can't keep khan as their title, even for Pashtuns you guys have tribe names, Khan is not a tribe - people address Pashtuns by their names, like Afridi, Durrani, Yusufzai etc

I live in America, I can 7 out of 10 times tell if somebody is Indian or Pakistani, it doesn't matter what their color is. I can tell by their features, the way they walk, they speak, their mannerisms and even the way they dress. It's a vibe only somebody from the group can understand, you can't put your finger on it but it's their, like I said you wouldn't know. As for non-sense, I've seen Sudhans and none looked like Pashtuns, they speak a Punjabi dialect, behave like us, live east of the indus, so anybody claiming that they're special is just non-sense. Guess what, it's 2016 and there's something call DNA testing and Sudhans have the same dna make up as Punjabis lol, even Pathans arent that different according to those tests, so nobody can be fooled anymore because of genetic testing.

)

I have never claim Sudhan or Pathan are special, they look different and have slightly different culture...My whole point was, you cannot bragg about Us Vs them (Pakistan Vs India) in terms of looks and show case minority features, blue eyes, fair complexion, also not a typical Pakistani, why bragg about it?? - Typically Pakistanis and Northern Indians are very similarly in every aspects both in terms of genetic, appearance, even culture. what's the point of bragging???

Clearly Khan name is lot more popular in Pathans than non-Pathans, lets leave it there for now... You can put Khan Square in your name, if you like, I have no issues with it... Ironically, my grand Father has Khan twice in his name

Sudhans speak Phari Language which is very similar to Language of Muree, a Dialect of Pothari, which in itself is very close to Punjabi... Not just Sudan but everybody else in those mountains speak Phari and its derivatives, from Hazara to Muzafarabad...

As far as DNA is concerned there are 3.2B base pairs, between Human and Champs/Apps, difference is only 3M base pair, I don't expect much difference among Human race. Detail differences and historical evolution of genetic make up is still work in progress. Can you provide reference of sources that compares DNA of Punjabis, Pathans, Sudhans??

He has got good pathan genes related to beauty and acting but i don't understand why he undertook that nose job even after that?

 

[Zak_Fan]

Fawad is way better looking now than he was before. Also, he should always keep his beard since it helps hide some pretty average features.

[MENTION=136588]CricketCartoons[/MENTION] must be loving this thread.

 

[Syed1]

At a cursory glance on this thread, I can make out that fair complexion, good facial features and other physical attributes are given massive importance by Pakistanis/Indians.

Guys this is the 21st century, come out of this medieval mindset.

Only small people judge each other based on looks.

Pashtuns do look different from the average Pakistanis but Sudhans lool I don't know what you're bragging about, I posted the photo of Sardar Yaqoob who looks like some dude that runs the mqm, Sudhans look just like punjabis, more than one photo has been posted here. I don't see any special blue-eyed central asians.

Your example of dna is pretty naive, Sudhans are genetically the same as Punjabis, you're closer to a Sikh than to a Kabuli according to dna tests. Similarly somebody from Swat is even closer to a Lahori or a Sindhi than to somebody from Iran. Genetic testing has mapped out peoples ancestries. If you read more genetics you'd know how close all Pakistani people are and further away from the middle east and central asia, even the Kalash are closer to a Saraiki than to some Turk. These are established by research, we live in the age of science so nobody can be fooled by folktales of some glorious ancestry.

I think I know who you're talking about, the famous double-barrel Khan, Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan aka Butcher of Babra - enemy of Pashtuns beacuse of his massacred hundreds.

Looks Punjabi too

You did not gave the reference of study or research or site that compares in detail the similarities and differences in genetics of Punjabis, Pathan or Sudhans. Can you provide those references?? - These pictures are meaningless, as people grow old, people from diverse look similar, that it not a concrete evidence... Genetic evidence one way or the other will be available few decades from now, when more data and studies will be done, we are not there yet.

You are still not getting my point. Lets assume Sudhans are Punjabi, I don't care weather they are Punjabi or Pathan, that's not my point, it still does not mean Punjabis are same as Pathan. Those Pathans Pakistanis Bragg about Imran Khan, Afridi, Fawad Khan etc does not look like Punjabi or typical Pakistani. Typical Pakistanis are more similar to Northern Indian than Pathan, what's the point of this whole debate of looks?? - Its like Indian bragg about Katarina Kaif, she is nothing like Indian girls, I have seen 1000+ Indian girls, not one of them look like her.

I have to diagree bro. I myself am a sudhan and 3 of my 5 family members(Including me) have colored eyes and very fair skin. And if you speak of the rest of my family living in Kashmir they too have a 40/60 ratio of colored to non colored eyes and almost everyone has fair skin. Nothing to be proud of tbh but you could easily identify them from a group of punjabis.

Fawad Khan had one of the best Rhinoplasty ever done for Cosmetic Purposes. Absolutely made him into a heart throb.

Its not a medieval mindset. Its basic supply and demand. You dont have guy who are fair and have a good face running around everywhere so its only natural for a person to get importance when he stands out in a crowd. If the same fair skin toned guy goes to a European country he'll get less attention since everyone looks like him. Its nothing wrong, just a natural response. Putting every good looking guy on a pedestal and throwing him away after a few weeks is completely wrong though.

lol who are you kidding, Fawad is not Pashtun lol and he always looked like a regular Pakistani dude during his Entity Paradigm days, the moment he becomes famous and improves his looks then suddenly y'all start claiming him as Pashtun on the basis of his last name being 'Khan' He's got nothing to do with kpk, he's just a lahori who's parents migrated from east of the border. Don't tell me that Sadiq Khan the mayor of London, Shahid Khan the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Sharjeel Khan are all Pashtun now

Nobody believes Punjabis and Pashtuns look the same, all the communities in Pakistan have their own look, whether it be Sindhis, Baloch, Punjabis or Pashtuns - everybody's distinct, nobody's some special unicorn. I agree that we shouldn't celebrate atypical looking people but many Pakistanis that look typical are just as good looking, I think it's dumb to take pride in superficial stuff like looks but it's funny you assume that if they do then they're claiming "your people" when there are many good looking people that aren't from the minority.

It's still a minority, all Pakistanis and all Asians including Afghans and Iranians aren't white, we're not Scandinavians where two-thirds of any family is blonde and blue eyed. Sudhans are there own people, they don't look like Pashtuns and they don't look like Punjabis.

I have met 100s of people from Karachi, not one of them look like Fawad Khan or even have same complex as him, him been typical Pakistan or Karachiate is far fetched. There are many good looking Pakistani who are more Pakistani like, for example Humza or Shan or Huyman Saeed etc, those guys are more similar in features to typically Pakistan, not Fawad, Afridi, Imran Khan...Shan had a very decent personality early on(not that he does not have any more), but Lollywood tried their best to converted him into another Sultan Rahi, now that's why Punjabis relate to a whole lot more for some reason

Similarly Haritick Roshan, Salman Khan, Amir Khan, Aditia Pancholi do not look like typically Indians. Although Abishak, John Abraham, Sunil Shetty, Ajay Devgand etc are more Indian looking actors. Some of them are very handsome too.

Aditia Pancholi was immensely good looking. Tall, hairy and light brown eyes.

John Ibrahim doesn't look Indian, but Abhishek, Suniel and Ajay Devgan do. Even Tushar Kapoor looks Indian.

Aditya was not only very good looking but was good actor too, he was messed up by Alcohol and maybe bad company, does not live up to his potential, I was a big fan of him when he first came, but very disappointed at his evolution or lack of it.

John may not be typical Indian, but John and Askhay Kumar gives you glimpse of what Northern Indians should aspire to look like(that has actually happened as well in last 10 years are so), they show case the potential of Indian or Northern India/Pakistani looks/personality in many ways, so is Abhishek, that's why I kept them there.

 

[troodon]

I get a feeling from some of the posts that the less Indian a person looks, the more attractive a person gets.

How many people in India have the so called attractive features like light eyes, brown hair, fair skin etc?

Most Indians look the same. Seen enough of people from South, UP/Bihar/Gujrat/Maharastra/MP. All seem to look the same with very minor differences. None seem to have those attractive features some posters are mentioning barring a few exceptions from certain castes.

Even in Pakistan, I have seen a lot of videos on News channels and they do not look much different from Indians. People like Afridi, Misbah, Yasir Shah etc obviously look different.

I feel that Bollywood has ruined the mindset of most Indians. Even South Indian movie Industry also did the same.

Most heroines do not look Indian. I used to go to movies in my college days with my friends and the heroines were very atractive. The moment we stepped out of the theater, not one girl looked like the ones shown on the screen. Not just the complexion. But the features of a regular women in South India are drastically different.
I still laugh when I watch movies with actresses like Tamannah Khanna in South Indian movies with Telugu and Tamil names. Even katrina Kaif acted in a Telugu movie (her debut) where she acted like a Telugu girl )

Indian Movie industry is so far away from reality, its laughable.

The best thing I like about Bollywood is the way they make white people dance in the background when our handsome indian stars are dancing. Makes me feel that we, as Indians, have arrived truly on the global stage, and are respected everywhere, especially by the whites.

How are Shan , hamza, Humayun Saeed different looking from fawad Khan lol. As Pakistanian said most Pakistanis cluster close to each other on DNA thats why you can tell even for a light Pakistani that he looks light Pakistani not some european(e.g Afridi). You are just trying to degrade other Pakistanis by turning yourself into some blue eyed exotic race. here is a DNA plot of Pakistani populations, Sudhans will be even closer to Sindhis that Pashtuns are lol. Also most paksitanis(everywhere) are dark eyed.

Lol what's with your obsession with Fawad Khan, he's just a regular Pakistani guy that became good looking over time, back when he had a band nobody thought he looked like some foreigner, even now he doesn't stand out in Lahore or anywhere in Pakistan. He's not even a pashtun, you're just claiming him because of his last name, but there are millions of khans that aren't pashtun. This is 2016, we have access to google and science, so we can't be fooled that easily anymore.

Good Looking people are in every race, color, culture all over the world. At the same time many white with blue eyes are not good looking at all. Brazilian Super Models are very hot, many of them are neither White, Blond or Blue eyes, yet those Girls are standard of beauty.

My Whole argument is/was Fawad, Imran Khan, Afridi are not representative of typical Pakistani, that does not mean Pakistanis are not good looking. Why I made this argument in the first place? because Pakistanis were bragging about, we better looking then Indian, by showcasing people who are not typical Pakistani. Chai Wali himself does not have typical Pakistani looks in the first place. Reality is typical Pakistani are lot more similar to Northern Indian than Pathans, what's is the whole point of bragging??

This region was same Country some 70 years ago. Genes of Punjabis on this side and other side is very similar. Rajputs are Rajputs weather they are Hindu or Muslim, Same goes for most people from Punjabi, UP, Sindh on both sides...Down South things are very different, so is towards East in India. South Indian or Bangalis are very different in looks than Northern Indian, as well as from Pakistanis. Similarly in North Kishmiris and Pathans are very different looking than Punjabis (specially Southern part) or Sindhs or People from UP.

I am not saying Fawad Khan is Foreigner, but he is not typical Pakistani looking guy either. Its like saying Clooney is Typical American looking guy, they are not typical, both are exceptions.

As far as Fawad being pure Punjabi or UP, for me its hard to believe. There got to be some mixing in not so distance gene pool.

How are Shan , hamza, Humayun Saeed different looking from fawad Khan lol. As Pakistanian said most Pakistanis cluster close to each other on DNA thats why you can tell even for a light Pakistani that he looks light Pakistani not some european(e.g Afridi). You are just trying to degrade other Pakistanis by turning yourself into some blue eyed exotic race. here is a DNA plot of Pakistani populations, Sudhans will be even closer to Sindhis that Pashtuns are lol. Also most paksitanis(everywhere) are dark eyed.

I am not sure what is your DNA point? Pakistani DNA is more common with Northern Indian than anybody else, because it was same country less than 70 years ago. Rajputs map more so to Rajputs from India than Pathans from Pakistan, just by drawing map on the paper, you cannot change the genetic make over. If you are bragging that Punjabis and Pathans have Common DNA, you should also acknowledge that DNA is lot more closer with other side of the boarder, Changing religion does not change your Genes...

I am not degrading anybody to some inferior race, just pointing out Indian and Pakistanis are same race, if Pakistanis are bragging about looks, what's the point of that? - As I said Chai Wala himself is not representative of typical Pakistani.

 

[yasir]

Yasir bhaee Fawad is from Lahore not from Khi.

1/3rd of Lahore population is Kashmiri, there is lot more mixing in metros like Lahore, ISB, Pindi etc, so I would not be surprised. As I said earlier, King of Punjab aka Nawaz Sheriff is not Punjabi by race or looks, second King aka Imran Khan is also not Punjabi

Looks are not everything if you can't dress well, don't have any class or can't speak well. Come out of this stone age thinking about the complexion .


New pic of Chai Wala, a good suit and haircut does wonders

 

[shah_1]

He is not normal looking Pathan like many are saying. It's features are striking not because of his skin colour but his wonderful jawline, blue eyes, nose is about right and a good looking smile.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This story made the national news even over here, but apparently many of his female fans expressed disappointment at seeing him looking stiff and uncomfortable togged up in western attire.

I can see their point, take him out of the chaiwala background and he starts to lose the rough and ready gamekeeper look (Lady Chatterley's lover).

Maanna parega, larka hai tou haseen.


Actually he is looking better now that he is a bit more comfortable infront of the camera. In the first couple of days he was very shy and nervous.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Looks average now without the stache.

[MENTION=5869]yasir[/MENTION] I looked up your tribe, turns out this lady named Tasnim Aslam who's a spokeswoman for the foreign ministry is a Sudhan, I thought she was Punjabi.

The President of AJK, Sardar Yaqoob Khan is from your tribe and he also looks Punjabi

I also heard ex Cricketer Abdur Rauf Khan is also a Sudhan and he looks Punjabi too.

Because sudhans are fake pathans, that's why not even one of them look like a stereotypical pathan but like their hindu/sikhs cousins. But not every pathan in punjab is fake, see Niazis usually still look like pure pathans.

 

[member250]

He is very good looking by any standard. Not surprised at Indian girls going gaga over him since they don't get to see pure pathans in India. He should thank buzzfeed India for making him a star in Pakistan lol

Grooming is what makes the difference.

I have seen plenty of good looking people in India who do not pay any attention to their dressing or hair and look ordinary.

 

[CricketCartoons]

Love his partly shy partly amused half smile, teasing everyone through the corner of his mouth. Feel so happy for him.

He just needs couple of years in industry and will develop class and learn to speak well. Most of actors come across as dumb anyway. If you are good looking then 95% of work is already done from allah side. You just need to give extra 5% from your side.

I thought Pashtun men were supposed to be strong and manly.

Even the least manly pathan will have indian women going crazy for him in spite of so many so called manly males on our side.

Typical desi mentality. As if Indian women don't have the intellectual capacity to decide who or what they like. High time you guys let go of this ownership mentality and treat women as real people with independent views.

Typical reply from you. Where in that post did i imply they don't. I merely said Eastern indian women are probably more crazy for pashtun men than the rest.

No that's not what you said, now you are trying to backtrack and pretend you said something different, but people aren't stupid, they can read. He's just a chai wallah who happens to be appealing to some women. Let them dream, who cares? They can't all run off with him and dent the male pride of enemy nations.

Not at all. There were plenty of Pashtun and Tajik students where i studied and the only attention they ever got was on Raksha Bandhan. Eastern Indian women are generally very liberal (compared to the rest of India) and i've seen them with other races including Pashtuns and nigerians etc.

When can we see an urdu adaptation of the BBC's Chatterley movies ? Chaiwala can easily slip into the role of rugged gardener with his background.It'll be tough persuading a local star to play the distressed housewife so maybe import a bengali actress.

Okay I get it now. When you described East Indian as crazy, what you really meant was liberal. My bad, must have misread it for some reason.

 

[enkidu_]

On social networks many Eurocentrists said that he attracted attention because "he looks White" : you can easily see he doesn't look "White" (Norwegian ? Italian ?) at all, but like a typical, yet aesthetically above average (obviously), Pashtun.

With some grooming he could get very far in modelling.

Wish the same to all good looking Pashtun chaiwalas, barbers, etc many I had the chance to contemplate closely myself.

How about Humaima Malik? Now she's been chased out of India following RSS protests about Pakistani artists in Bollywood, she might have time to remove her burka and act in urdu version of Lady Chattersley's Lover.

Now he can't make tea all his life just to please western fans, can he? Main market for him are Indian females.

Not bad , but she's too young for that role.I had someone like Sridevi in mind.

Now the movie might cause a furore but it's time for Pakistan to take the plunge.It would rejuvenate the local film industry and competition with Bollywood will be tighter.

Oh come on.... if another guy had the exact same facial features but his skin tone was several shades darker he would have never gotten the same hype.


That is unfortunate and the sad reality of our country (or the subcontinent at large).

Its not possible to have his features and skin tone of tamil at the same time, that's the sad reality of subcontinent at large.

I am not sure why this specific part is 'sad reality', he is/was good looking, color of his eyes and skin played a part in the final product, why go the other direction ' we are not going to like good looking white people in our society, just because white people ruled us'...

Its like saying, a guy is good fast bowler but does not swing, if the same guy with same pace who also swings the ball is more desirable and that is sad reality, swing is very important attribute...Shade of your skin color can have a huge impact on your looks, on the flip side, if he was 3/4 tone more white, with everything else same, his looks will be ruined too

No, he just has good facial features, with or without blue eyes, with or without skin, that's the real reality, the rest are pseudo pontifications from crypto anthropologists who have internalized Eurocentric/colonial paradigms.

From a chaiwala to this!
Hope this translates into permanent monetary improvement for him.
Always good to see people rising up from poverty.

 

[big_gamer007]

Such inferiority complex over a normal looking dude..

 

[confused_amoeba]

Beard is less of an issue than the weight loss in my opinion. It has ruined his face and charm.

Matter of taste. Beards are in and he looks good in it. 5-10 years before maybe the earlier look would have been considered "hot" but not anymore...going by current style and beauty standards.

 

[Badsha]

ehh? Please go to bara or something. Hundreds like him.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Now. You don't see chaiwala like this dude. He has the looks for a chaiwala. He does have model features. Good on the lad. Dreams do come true. Although in his case he probably never dreamed of being where he is now from being a common chaiwala.

Exactly....he is average looking compared to the some of the other pathan chai wallas, maunphalli walla's, bus conductors, laborers etc. Ive seen. Not to say that I am not happy for him but hardly someone with unique features.

If he was so ordinary and average, why did the women click his photograph? Surely his type faces are rare in the place where he was working.
