World falls in love with vegetable seller

You might have seen or heard about Pakistan's blue-eyed “chai wala” (tea seller) Arshad Khan, whose good looks made him a global social media darling.

Now, meet this Nepalese “sabji wali” (vegetable seller girl), who recently set Twitter on fire. 

The girl, seen in a green "Kurta" carrying plastic vegetable trays in her head while crossing a Himalayan mountain suspension bridge (reportedly between Gorkha and Chitwan), has become the latest sensation on the micro-blogging site.

Soon after Nepalese photographer Rupchandra Maharjan posted the picture of a young and pretty "Nepali sabjiwali" on Twitter, the post became viral.

Social media sites later identified the vegetable seller as Kusum Shrestha. The Gundruk Post reported Shrestha as a XIth standard management student from Bhumlichok village who helps her parents by selling vegetables in the local market.

Images of the good-looking vegetable seller have been shared and reshared under various hashtags, such as #hardwork, #sabjiwali, #tarkariwali and #Nepal.

Meanwhile, the blue-eyed chai wala is now reportedly set to embark on a new career in Pakistan acting in an upcoming TV soap.
