<p>In an interview with a local TV news channel, the blue-eyed Arshad indicated that he had been living in Islamabad for the last 25 years and joined the tea stall a few months ago, the Daily Pakistan reported.</p>
<p>When asked if he knew what Twitter or Instagram was, Arshad replied that he had no idea what those things meant.</p>
<p>Brother of 17 siblings, he expressed his ecstasy on becoming famous for a day.</p>
<p>Talking to Dunya News, he said that he was happy with his overnight popularity but that it was irritating when people gathered around him for pictures during working hours as he was supposed to work to earn livelihood.</p>
<p>Arshad said that people had taken more than 150 pictures with him so far.</p>
<p>Twitter was flooded by netizens with some making jokes about him. But most of them were swooning over him.</p>
<p>And he, inevitably, drew comparisons with India's most famous 'chaiwala'.</p>
