This Pakistani seller is in great demand on the streets of his city, and it’s not just because his rice pudding is popular.
Saleem Bagga sports blonde hair similar to that of the president-elect of the United States. And even at the facial level, some see a strong resemblance.
In a market in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, a street vendor who locals say bears a striking resemblance to Donald Trump is attracting more and more customers.
“We feel like Trump came here to sell kheer (local rice pudding)”says Mohammad Yaseen, a resident.
Saleem Bagga, 53, pushes his colorful wooden cart along the road to deliver rice pudding. The crowd gathers around him, as he attracts his customers by singing.
“When he sings to sell kheer, we come to him”adds Yaseen.
His “fans” take photos with him: “His kheer is really delicious… We take selfies with him and we tell our friends that we took these photos with Trump”says Imran Ashraf, a resident of the neighborhood.
He sports blond hair directly linked to his albinism. But it’s not just his hairstyle that gives him such a strong resemblance to the American president-elect.
“My face looks like Donald Trump, that’s why people take selfies with me… I feel great”he says before sending an invitation to the billionaire: “Mr Donald Trump, you won the election, now come here and eat my kheer, you will really enjoy it”.
