In addition, the five nails of his left hand, which he has grown since the age of 14, measure just over 9 meters, the approximate size of a bus.

It took a technician with a protective mask and an electric sander to cut nails, and the operation took about 20 minutes.

The challenge of growing nails posed health problems, limiting almost nothing to the movements of the hand. He also reported to Guinness representatives, the records book, which began to experience pain in the wrist, elbow and shoulders.

Shridhar says that he decided to start cultivating his nails at the age of 14 after meeting a professor and broke the long fingernail he'd let grow, following a local tradition in India. After a reprimand, he took up the challenge.

Shridhar Chillal's Nails are on display at the Ripley Museum's Odditorium Believe It or Not on Time's Square in downtown New York.
