Matapos ang 66 na taon, pumayag na si Shridhar Chillal na putulin ang kaniyang mahahabang kuko para i-display sa museum ng Ripley’s Believe It or Not sa New York.
Sa ulat ng Reuters, sinabing umabot sa 909.6 centimeters ang mga kuko sa kaliwang kamay ni Chillal, na ang pinakamahaba ay ang thumbnail na may sukat na 197.8 centimeters.
Ikinuwento rin ni Chillal, 82-anyos kung papaano nagsimula ang pagpapahaba niya ng kuko nang aksidente nilang mabali ang kuko ng kanilang guro noong bata pa siya.
“I don’t know whether the teacher is dead now or not but I would definitely like to say that the thing for which you scolded me, I took it as a challenge and I have completed the challenge and now, I am here,” saad ni Chillal.
Dagdag niya, pumayag siyang ipaputol na ang kaniyang mga kuko dahil alam niyang iingatan ito ng Ripley’s.
“When I decided to cut my nails, it was difficult for me to make this decision, but when I realized that after cutting my nails, my nails will be at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and they’re going to maintain it very nicely and for a lifetime, then I felt like I was doing the right decision and that’s why I decided to cut my nails,” pahayag niya. -- Reuters/FRJ, GMA News
