This handsome Pakistani 'chaiwala' is breaking the internet

People on social media are calling him Pakistan's nuclear weapon, one that can be used for carrying out surgical strikes on Indian girls.

Move over Fawad Khan - there's a new Pakistani heartthrob who's making waves not just in Pakistan but across the subcontinent, the Gulf and, indeed, the world.

Blue eyes, rugged looks, a piercing gaze and all things synonymous with a superstar are being flaunted by Arshad Khan, the heartthrob 'chaiwala' from Pakistan.

According to the Times of India, people on social media are calling him Pakistan's nuclear weapon, one that can be used for carrying out surgical strikes on Indian girls.

His pictures were shared on Instagram by a Pakistani photographer Jiah Ali. She informed the International Business Times of the fact that she happened to spot him in the Itwar Bazaar area of Islamabad during her participation in a photo-walk, a few months back.

As reported by Dunya News, Arshad Khan expressed his ardent elation on becoming famous in one single day and that his 'so called' fans have taken more than 150 pictures with him until now.

He has also had the hashtag #chaiwala trending on twitter and being used by people to no end.

As opposed to how Arshad Khan is soaking up all the attention, model and actor Omar Borkan Al Gala was reportedly ousted from a cultural festival in Saudi Arabia in 2013 for being "too handsome".

According to Khaleej Times online article titled 'UAE's door to Hollywood', he was one of the actors to star in a film titled 51, a thriller "based on algorithms, or numbers".

His official Facebook page currently has 2,411,37 likes and has 40,256 people talking about him at the moment.
