Indian man claims world's longest moustache
An Indian man is aiming for a place in the record books for the longest moustache in the world.
Badamsingh Gurjar Khatana claims to have a 13.5 foot-long moustache.
The current record is held by Kalyan Sain, whose moustache measures 11.1ft.
The Guinness Book of Records say they haven't heard from Khatana, but says if he can provide documentary evidence then he may be the new record holder.
Khatana, from Kemri in Rajasthan, says he hasn't shaved or trimmed his moustache for the last 26 years.
"The only thing that I have been doing for some years is applying oil regularly every morning. Other than that I do not spare much time for it," he said.
The Asian Age says the 61-year-old began growing the moustache because, "men in our village take pride in moustaches as it is perceived sign of masculinity and therefore it was natural that I grow one too" .
Mr Khatana lives with his two wives and 14 children.
