Internet has the capability of making anyone famous within a very short span of time! Who can understand it better than Arshad Khan? Arshad Khan is the chaiwala who got famous after his photos were uploaded on the social media sites and soon, he was signing the contracts of modelling.
Till now, we all knew that he is a Pakistani national but there is a twist in the story and as per the recent reports, it seems that he is an Afghan national and not a Pakistani. Yes, you read it right!
Pakistani news channel Geo News has claimed that Arshad is an Afghan national and their claims are based on the inputs received from their sources in National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).
Arshad has been accused of using fake documents to attain computerized national identity card and then using it for making a passport. The report said that there were many points which were doubtful but Arshad used his celebrity status to get the passport issued.
Arshad has, however, denied such reports as well as talked about the photos on his Facebook account which showed him receiving computerized national identity card at the headquarters of NADRA in Islamabad.
He claims that his family is from Mardan in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and his father was born in Sargodha in Pakistani Punjab while his house is at the outskirts of Islamabad where he lives with his family. However, he didn’t produce any document to prove his claims and in an interesting twist, the photos at his Facebook account have also been deleted.
However, the ambassador to Pakistan, Dr. Omar Zakhilwal, has confirmed the news of Arshad Khan being an Afghan in a tweet and wrote, “Yes @geonews_english, #Chaiwala (#ArshadKhan) indeed is an Afghan!”
