Meet the Man with the longest nails in the world. (PHOTOS)

Meet an Indian man who has been growing his nails for 62 years and now plans to trim and preserve them in a museum.
Shridhar Chillal has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the person with the ‘Longest Fingernails on a Single Hand Ever’.He stopped cutting his nails on his left hand in 1952, in 2015 their combined length is impressive 909,6cmHis longest single nail is on his thum that reaches 197,8 cm, then goes his middle finger with a 186,6cm curly nail, ring finger at 181,6cm, little finger at 179,1cm and index finger at 164,5cm.Asked about how his nails affect his everyday life Chillal answered: “Initially, difficulties appeared everywhere in my daily life. My family really didn’t like it, no one would wash my clothes and I had to wash them by hand.

Finding a job was also difficult, as no one was ready to employ me. When I was to get married, no one was ready to marry me, I saw nearly 10 to 12 girls. If the girl agreed to marry, her parents would say I would strangle their daughter’s neck and refuse.”

But now, Chillal is happy and proud of his record breaking nails: “I had achieved the biggest goal in my life. I can tell everyone now with pride about my record. When I am on my travels, people will recognise me as a Guinness World Records title holder.”
