For those wondering who Dolly Chaiwala is, the vendor owns a roadside tea stall, located near the old VCA stadium in Nagpur’s Sadar area. Although his real name is not known, people recognise him as Dolly Chaiwala on social media. Notably, it is his unique action and unconventional way of serving tea that earned him the nickname desi Johnny Depp.
