He definitely nailed this record.
Shridar Chillal has clawed his way into Guinness World Records by growing the fingernails on his left hand to a cumulative length of 358.1 inches — almost 30 feet.
His thumbnail measures 6.5 feet by itself.
But the record of “longest fingernails on a single hand” wasn’t just handed to the 77-year-old resident of Prune City, India.
Chillal hasn’t clipped his fingernails since 1952, after an incident with a teacher who was proud of his own long fingernails.
“When I was a school boy, we were once beaten badly by our teacher because my friend broke his nail,” Chillal told Guinness World Records. “The teacher had grown a very long nail. We asked him why he had beaten us so much just for breaking his nail.
“He said we would not understand it as we had never grown long nails. After that, we took it as a challenge to grow our own nails.”
