The people with the world’s longest nails and why they grow them: www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2021/5/people-with-the-worlds-longest-nails-and-why-they-grow-them-660111
He literally sacrficed his left hand and has chosen to live with a dissability. No one told him to. His friends and family probably insisted on cutting nails much earlier, yet he remained assertive and kept on going for 66 years. Just out of pure spite. I can’t even decide if I’m proud of this man’s achievement or totally mind blown.
Yeah, I agree with you. But I am glad somebody did it lol. anyone who might be asking themselves "What happens if one lets their nails grow?" lol I think it's the fear of losing the attention he was getting that made him keep it for that long.
He is dumb and stubborn...who would be willingly be disabled for just a world record that no one will remember once they close this video lol .... They will probably never even remember his name
@@caflee7801 he definitely prove his point to his teacher whit those large nails, but there is a point in his life where he probably could have stopped; 66 years is just too much. Maybe a 2 or 5 years of not cutting his nails would have been enough to just go to his teachers office and show off.
His nails will be there for next 1000 years or more maybe 3000 years 5000 years. as skeletons of people 5000 years earlier are preserved then why not his nails for next 5000 years uptill year 7022
The most astounding part of his accomplishment isn't his nails - but the pointless inconvenience he intentionally endured. He grew them because of some psychological issue but he obviously learned to enjoy the attention he received by keeping them.
Many cultures see things like long nails and fair skin as signs that those people are on the wealthier side and don't need to work outdoors or perform physical labor
I wouldn't say he wasted his life if he accomplished what he wanted to accomplish yes he did have a bad time but he made the decision to do that and continue that.
@@gamercreature2587 yes, I put a value judgement on his accomplishment. Thats my subjective critique but I think its okay to recognize not all accomplishments are equal.
I don't think when he started growing his nails he had the ambition to get his name in the books infact being an Indian myself I am pretty sure almost 50-60% of the people still don't know about the existence of record books like these. Someone must have suggested him to contact guniess book of records and see if he could get some money from there since he was having trouble financially. It pretty much started as an ego thing for him in the beginning I guess
Since I didn't see any empathetic comment: This man felt those nails as his achievement, his exclusive offering to the world. He definitely valued those nails more than any treasure! Cutting them off was surely a hard decision for him, to let go of all his past life. It was such a brave choice! I'm glad he was able to move on!
What really blew my mind was how deformed his hand had become due to the awkward positioning of the nails. Truly compromised on his quality of life for this endeavor.
@@hodenhalter Yeah, though that was because of social demand, where as society absolutely kicked him down for growing his nails. If you were a chinese woman with tiny feet, you could easily be picked up by royalty.
@@DaMoniableYou say that as if it wasn’t parents inflicting broken bones and permanent disfigurement on their daughter all for the sake of a fashion trend that passed long before many of them died and consequently spent the rest of their lives being made to feel ashamed of their lotus feet, something they had no control over
@RugMann The person I replied to said about how this poor guy was kicked down by society before saying about how women who had their feet bound benefitted socially. Maybe I was a bit too harsh with my reply having recently watched a video of the accounts of now elderly women on how the practice destroyed them physically and socially. However, my point still stands about how the comment they made ignores that those women were kicked down by society too
Bro he was actually quite handsome looking at a young age. It’s almost a shame he kinda threw his life away by deciding to never cut his nails again just to spite his teacher. I just hope he’s happy now.

Wild. I remember hearing about this guy as a little kid back in the '90s. Didn't know he was still alive, much less still had the nails growing until a few years ago. If I recall correctly, he had to show them to TSA every time he went on a flight or something of that nature.
It’s fascinating that just by looking at the top of his nails, you can see where they began growing 66 years ago. You’re literally seeing almost an entire lifetime right before your eyes.
@Alejandro Pérez No, that’s not true at all. When you look at other people’s nails you’re only seeing where it ended. When you look at his nails however, you’re seeing it from where it began to where it ended.
Honestly it’s kinda sad how he let his teacher dictate his life because the best kind of revenge is to live a happy and fulfilling life even after experiencing so much trauma
it's called neurotic behavior. its psychological weakness/ disorder. unfortunately he passed up on many things and experiences during his best years while Young, and only focused on one thing growing his nails which kept him poor and lonely, just so that he can cut them a few years before he dies.
He ruined his life, handicapping himself from 14 till he’s in the grave. His hand is completely withered and nearly useless. Seems like his father should have stepped up when he was still a child and had him trim his nails. His quality of life would have been way better.
@@gklnth187 And, creating unprecedented inconveniences to the people around. He is a "Small" man. That's it. His 15 year old self never grew. All that mattered to him was popularity. It is evident in the video.
Shridhar and his friend: "Sir, why had you beaten us so much just for breaking your nail?" Teacher: "You would not understand as you have never grown such long nails." Shridhar: *"and i took that personally"*
This poor guy wasn’t able to really live his life because of this choice. And because of his choice others had to be affected by it too. I feel bad for his family.
@ I’m not sure what that means to have trauma from not having long fingernails. I understand that victims of abuse can have disorders like hoarding for instance. Maybe his growing of those nails was a stress response. Regardless, His family should have helped him get help I guess. But the fact remains that he had to have help with everything in life because of those fingernails. It did impact everyone around him. He chose for them to serve him. Technically, he chose his fingernails first over his family….. that’s neglectful of their needs and disregards them. Very sad .
At least he got to experience what it's like to have them off before he passes away. His dedication to one up his teacher is pretty crazy. He should have used that dedication towards something else but if that's what he chose to do and wanted then so be it.
@@littlesadcat69 fortunately more people know him than you also considering the fact he is guiness world record holder now. More people know him than you could ever see. So idk but damn he's winning more over it was his choice.
@@catrice1296 those nails probably weighed a ton, if anything the tendons tightened up from constant use, try carrying around a 10-15 pound weight in your hand all day long without putting it down besides resting it on something. this is a quote from the wiki "Although proud of his record-breaking nails, Chillal has faced increasing difficulties due to the weight of his finger nails, including disfigurement of his fingers and loss of function in his left hand. He claims that nerve damage to his left arm from the nails' immense weight has also caused deafness in his left ear."
"People wont notice me now" almost made me feel actually sad for him, but then I'm also happy for him to finally be free from the difficulty that those nails have given him in life.
Before the cut : He could not move his fingers because of his long nails. After the cut : He can't move his fingers because he damaged the finger bones for the nails. It is like living with only one hand and total waste of having two hands.
@@masterxgaming4159 I didn't say that I don't respect him but explained the reality of his fingers that how he damaged them and how hard it would be live his daily life with using only one hand after having both hands. Don't mind but think positively.
@@masterxgaming4159 we got to witness this because of his struggle but I think he shouldn't have done that. That's just a waste if we consider what he lost and what he and us gained. The loss and the struggles still aren't worth it by far.
@@aniketgarje7784 Did you not read what was said? He could barely do anything normal in his life like having a relationship or working just cause of his damn fingernails that he didn't cut just cause a teacher once scolded him! Yeah okay now he has a world record but he also has a completely deformed hand and barely any time left to actually live
His nails will be there for next 1000 years or more maybe 3000 years 5000 years. as skeletons of people 5000 years earlier are preserved then why not his nails for next 5000 years uptill year 7022
That's how we create and set limitations to ourselves by our own and then we keep suffering from that. Salute to Mr. Sridhar for this courageous act, we can have many lessons from this story as per individual mindset.
I'll never forget reading about this guy in the Guinness Book of World Records at my elementary school library in the mid-1990s. Nearly thirty years later, he's still a legend.
Not a legend, a psycolath that decided to make himself look repulsive, as well as sacrifice his arm for the vast majority of his life for some attention and a record
@@alextonev3017, the term "legend" has no bearing whatsoever on the man's mental state. I simply mean his story is famous (or perhaps infamous to you).
nails grow without any effort it's not your mind or discipline it's lack of doing anything at all. discipline and commitment would be keeping them well groomed regularly and in top-notch condition that the best level of shortness and actually becoming wealthy and fulfilled.
Y’all are taking about the wasted potential, meanwhile I can’t stop thinking about how this is what we humans can grow as if we don’t groom ourselves…Can you imagine aliens coming to earth and seeing a person with full body/head hair, nails, and wild teeth and thinking it is what we look like? To the core, we have the potential to look like completely different creatures.
Yeah but thatd come with alot of its own problems, the reason there's an ideal average image of a human being, male or female, is because that person's making themselves be the best they can be.
mmm yeah but his nails grew this long cus he didnt use the hand, nails are suppose to break off short when we use them, like cats use scratching posts. so even if we were living completely wild with no beauty or hygiene standards, i recon our nails would naturally stay short
@@megallow1434 I agree with this, but what about hair? I never really though about it, but how would early humans cut their hair, or would it stop growing or somehow be trimmed naturally?
The dollar amount he received for those nails is probably dwarfed by the income a museum will get in return. What a painful way to live 66 years of one’s only life.
Yall are trolling him, but did u realize that there are ppl in west who modify their body! Even tattooing is bad in this sense. Doesn't it give you pain?
@@johnlabu1154 not simple at all . Imagine sacrificing your own hand . Just imagine his life . Can t do anything like normal people he basically sacrified literally everything
@@twosinister I responded to the guy who said it s simple to grow nails . And still he ruined his life having your nails in a museum isn t woth that kind of sucrifices
@@sarge_snow8206 lol you're right but I thought that he has been growing his nails since last century. and his teacher in last century used to do it too.
An action that controlled his life for 60+ years based on trauma and the refusal to look at oneself and heal from it. This is what you don't do. Don't let things get this bad.
Dear Mr. armchair psychologist, sure it might have started as a trauma thing but it certainly wasn't the trauma that kept him at it, and he seemed to be pretty content despite the difficulties he experienced as a result. I think it was eventually that he was more proud of how long he'd managed to grow them than anything.
This man is the very reason why no one should waste the one life we have. Everyday you wake up should be a day of self discovery, connections, exploration and to admire the beauty around.
These nails definitely need to get preserved in epoxy and placed in a museum somewhere. The dedication and uniqueness of it all make it worthy of having a spot on human history.
wait, he has the record for World's Longest Nails, but since he waited 66 years, would that mean we would also hold the record for Longest Time With Uncut Nails
I come back to this video every once in a while. I think it fascinates me because I’m watching something that makes me genuinely emotional, but what he’s done is completely unrelatable as a physical action. I will never know what it’s like to cut off 60+ years of nail growth, but I can also see how monumental it is. This man has led a fascinating life, even if I don’t know much about it beyond what was said in the video. I feel like there’s more to the story when it comes to the beating that led to his decision, but I guess there’s always more to the story when you’re a human being. His nails are like the physical manifestation of “everyone you know is fighting their own battle.” Navigating life physically was challenging enough, but in order to keep these nails you’d have to be making the same decision every day-even subconsciously. The fact that he finally made the decision to cut them is just so compelling in that regard.
66 years of his life, damage to social circles, family circles, thousands if not hundreds of thousands missed opportunities to experience so many things, mangled hand. All for his name to go into some book and an 8 minute RUclips video that won't even mention his name in title or video itself.
@@anasshaaban2087 You say that in attempt to defend him, and aye, that's the reason he started it. But the alternative that he grew his nails for so long to prove his childhood teacher wrong or something, makes him possibly the most petty, vindictive and outright insane person I can imagine. To waste your entire existence to be able to say "Ha, I proved you wrong" is just ludicrous. That's why I prefer to think that he continued to grow those wolverine claws because he liked the attention (as he himself mentioned) and he wanted this record. It is still moronic, but it's far better than what you suggest.
@David Polanco On August 27, 1955, the first edition of “The Guinness Book of Records” is published in Great Britain. So may be he didn't start with the aim of a WR, but by the time he became an adult WR might have been a popular thing
@@Nov_Net His arm was completely unusable. And if your arm was cut off at the shoulder you at least don't have it getting in the way. Here, he had trouble laying down, walking, and just existing in general. All the disadvantages of being an amputee and then some more
The person who cut his nails would have also made a world record for cutting the longest nail in the world? Am i right?😁 Edited: Wtf 1k likes 💖 More than my channel's sub 😂
And the driver bringing the nails to the museum, the person cleaning the equipment after that, the "first" person visiting the museum after that... 🙃🤪🥴
This man lives a meaningful life for himself only. People might think it's waste, but it's a creative way of living your own life because it's "your life "
Not to sound judgemental but this guy had everything on his side but he threw everything aside just for his nails. On the other hand there are people who are disabled, blind or young children who suffer from incurable diseases yet achieve world records by doing higher education or PHD. That sounds more inspirational.
This is just kinda depressing he messed up his hand threw away key moments in his life just to prove a point to a teacher whose probably dead and probably couldn't care less about this guy just to prove a point and have his 3 seconds of fame. But hey at least his nails are in a museum.
@Decaying Corpse but the man Is happy and proud of himself and u just are the typical edgy mainstream archetype,at least the idiot of the nails is original
I'm a person with some handicap, I can't understand why this man chose to have this disability and the worse part on my point of view: as a challenge for a simple event! Each one decide the way to be happy 🤷🏻♀️
Same for me, just can't understand how healthy people can make their lives so complicated for nothing. I mean a world record, wow, that was worth it...meanwhile we are suffering each day without being responsive for that
@@nasreen7043 I've had that same feeling when I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 20s and got on medication. A combination of regret at having wasted so much of my life, an odd sense of loss, overwhelming relief, and a feeling of excitement for what I would be able to accomplish with that treatment.
I feel like he started it off as a joke and wanted to see how long it would go for, but then it caused some not so great things in his life to happen. So he figured well these long nails got me into this mess so I mine as well keep growing them or else all the time with them would have been wasted. So he had them growing for so long that he couldn’t get rid of them since they caused so much inconvenience in his life, but they caused so much inconvenience in his life that he had to let them keep growing or else it was all or nothing and he wasted his life. So, really, this man trapped himself in a negative feedback loop.
He absolutely does. Especially after cutting the nails and not getting weird stares, there is nothing left defining his existence, there's nothing else he achieved that he can be proud and content with.
I also had the same thought that regret at this stage of life would be difficult. At first glance I was excited for he is speaking my native language Marathi.
@@aguyfromnewzealand3392 no, this is marathi, native to maharashtra. He would definitely know hindi, and english as well. But marathi is the most comfortable and closest to his heart for the flow of talking hence the native language is the best option.

@ I’m not sure what that means to have trauma from not having long fingernails. I understand that victims of abuse can have disorders like hoarding for instance. Maybe his growing of those nails was a stress response. Regardless, His family should have helped him get help I guess. But the fact remains that he had to have help with everything in life because of those fingernails. It did impact everyone around him. He chose for them to serve him. Technically, he chose his fingernails first over his family….. that’s neglectful of their needs and disregards them. Very sad .
@ I would love to hear a follow up in this man- he seemed very excited to not be so held back by those nails anymore!
At least he got to experience what it's like to have them off before he passes away. His dedication to one up his teacher is pretty crazy. He should have used that dedication towards something else but if that's what he chose to do and wanted then so be it.

Y’all are taking about the wasted potential, meanwhile I can’t stop thinking about how this is what we humans can grow as if we don’t groom ourselves…Can you imagine aliens coming to earth and seeing a person with full body/head hair, nails, and wild teeth and thinking it is what we look like? To the core, we have the potential to look like completely different creatures.
Yeah but thatd come with alot of its own problems, the reason there's an ideal average image of a human being, male or female, is because that person's making themselves be the best they can be.

Dear Mr. armchair psychologist, sure it might have started as a trauma thing but it certainly wasn't the trauma that kept him at it, and he seemed to be pretty content despite the difficulties he experienced as a result.

@CaptainCapCat exactly
I come back to this video every once in a while. I think it fascinates me because I’m watching something that makes me genuinely emotional, but what he’s done is completely unrelatable as a physical action. I will never know what it’s like to cut off 60+ years of nail growth, but I can also see how monumental it is. This man has led a fascinating life, even if I don’t know much about it beyond what was said in the video.
I feel like there’s more to the story when it comes to the beating that led to his decision, but I guess there’s always more to the story when you’re a human being. His nails are like the physical manifestation of “everyone you know is fighting their own battle.” Navigating life physically was challenging enough, but in order to keep these nails you’d have to be making the same decision every day-even subconsciously. The fact that he finally made the decision to cut them is just so compelling in that regard.

To waste your entire existence to be able to say "Ha, I proved you wrong" is just ludicrous.
