India’s Craziest Record Breaker

MEET the tattoo-covered 74-year-old obsessed with setting world records. Based in Delhi, India, Har Prakash Rishi now calls himself 'Ripley’s Guinness Rishi’ in homage to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! and the Guinness World Records. Rishi’s bizarre feats include downing a 490g bottle of ketchup in 39 seconds and delivering a pizza from New Delhi to San Francisco - which took him 27 hours. He also removed all his teeth so that he could create a world record by putting 65 burning candles in his mouth. In 2011 he also managed to squeeze an incredible 496 straws in his mouth.
