Earlier this year, Monalisa Bhonsle , a girl who was selling garlands at the Mahakumbh Mela in Pragyaraj, went viral for her beauty, and her fortunes changed forever. Today, Monalisa is on the way to make her Bollywood debut. She will play the lead role in a movie titled The Diary of Manipur. The film is helmed by Sanoj Mishra, who had earlier made The Diary of West Bengal. Now it's the turn of a pretty tea seller in Nepal to have her moment in the limelight. A video of a young woman diligently preparing tea for customers was shared on Instagram and quickly went viral.

Another said, 'She is so pretty and very hardworking." The video, shared on Instagram by a page that mentioned her tea stall is located on the streets of Kathmandu, has since crossed over a million views. This is far from the first time an aam aadmi from the neighbouring nation went viral for their impeccable good looks. In 2016, a humble tea vendor from Pakistan, Arshad Khan , captured global attention. His rise to fame began with a single photograph taken by photographer Jiah Ali. In the image, Khan was seen pouring tea at a street stall — a routine part of his day — but what made the image go viral was his piercing blue eyes and strikingly photogenic appearance. Almost overnight, he became an internet sensation, charming millions around the world. That one candid snapshot dramatically transformed Arshad Khan's life. The young man, once serving tea on the streets of Islamabad, found himself in the spotlight, receiving offers from modeling agencies and gaining a substantial following online. Instead of fading away like many viral personalities, Khan used this newfound recognition to shape a better future for himself. Today, he is a successful entrepreneur, owning and running a café named 'Chaiwala' in Ilford Lane, East London—a neighborhood predominantly inhabited by South Asians, including communities from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. His café blends cultural nostalgia with modern aesthetics, offering a slice of home to the diaspora while celebrating the roots of his story.
