Tarkariwali Kusum Shrestha's Viral Photo Story #Tarkariwali

A few weeks ago, social media made an overnight star of blue-eyed Pakistani tea-seller Arshad Khan.
Now a pretty Nepali vegetable seller has shot to fame as the internet's new darling.
Kusum Shrestha, 18, was photographed carrying vegetables at a local market.
When the photographer posted the shots online, the hashtags #Tarkariwali and #Sabjiwali - "vegetable seller" - quickly started trending on social media as admirers praised her looks.
Miss Shrestha comes from a farming family based in Bagling, Gorkha, some 55 miles (90km) west of the capital, Kathmandu.
She told BBC Nepali she is a student in the nearby district of Chitwan, and was helping her parents during college holidays when the snaps were taken.
