The world's longest nails, Indian man's nails total length of 9.096 meters

Nails everyone has long, we have to trim the nails every once in a while, but some people like to keep their nails long, then you know who the world's longest nails are? Jun 03, 2024

The longest nail in the world

Chillar was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records back in 1979 with a total nail length of 2.19 meters, after which he continued to keep his nails and further became the record holder for the longest single fingernail, with a total nail length of 6.15 meters on his left hand, and as of 2018, the total length of the last measured nail reached 9.096 meters, almost equivalent to a the length of a bus.

Like the world's longest eyelashes, all the growth happened unintentionally. It is said that Shridhar Chidhar did not intend to grow his nails at the beginning, but only in 1952, when he happened to be in a rebellious period, he started to grow his nails in a gamble after seeing his teacher strike a classmate who was scratched by his nails, because the teacher justified his 64-year life of growing his nails by saying that people who do not grow their nails do not understand how difficult it is to take care of them.

But it is also because of this that his nails were able to get the Guinness World Record. But after all, such long nails will still affect daily life, so just in 2018, he considered donating his nails to the museum, which is also considered to have completed his goal in this life, and at the same time can also facilitate his life.
