Making a surprise appearance in the list, Arshad Khan bagged the 31st spot.
“Impoverished teenager Arshad Khan broke the Internet earlier this year when his photograph serving tea sent females around the world into a frenzy. He has since been plucked from obscurity and gained global media attention along with a new career in modelling.
