Shridhar Chillal officially has has the world's
longest fingernails on one hand ever, with their
combined length coming in at a staggering 909.6cm.

says they were nothing but trouble in his younger
years.
"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."If the
parents agreed, the girl would say she would not
marry such a dirty person."Our family members
opposed, then teachers were opposed but I decided
from that point on that I would never cut my nails
again," he said.
"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..I can tell everyone now
with pride about my record," he said. "When I am on
my travels, people will recognise me as a Guinness
World Records title holder."
