Retail site fitin.pk has signed on the youngster, Arshad Khan, as a model for an undisclosed amount and his first shoot is already out, the Dawn reported on Wednesday.
His photo was posted by an aspiring photographer, Jiah Ali, on October 14. It was picked up in the West, including the popular US website Buzzfeed.
One of 18 siblings, Arshad hails from Kohat and has been making tea at Islamabad's Sunday Bazaar for three months. He has never been to school.
