Remember the Nepali girl who shot to fame last week for selling vegetables at a bridge in her country? Of course you do!
Kusum Shrestha, 18, found fame after her
pictures were clicked by photographer Rupchandra Maharjan near the
‘Fishling suspension bridge between Gorkha and Chitwan’, The Gundruk
Post said (catch the details here).
The pictures surfaced days after a Pakistani chaiwalla broke the internet with his intense blue eyes.
Now, in an interview to BBC Nepali, the young girl said she found out about the pictures through a friend.
“First my friend asked me if I am the
same girl whose photos became viral on Facebook. But I didn’t know,” BBC
quoted Shrestha as saying.
“Then she sent me the pictures and when I
saw them, I found it was me. On that day, I came to sell the vegetables
to help my parents. When I was on my way to sell the vegetables,
Rupchandra (the photographer) took my picture – but at that point of
time, I didn’t know that I was being photographed,” the report added.
Thrilled with her newfound fame, the
girl, when asked if she would like to take up modelling like the
chaiwalla, she said: “Yes, I will go.”
