World’s longest fingernails: 'Believe it or Not' This man cuts his nails after 66 years
His cut fingernails are laid flat in a memorial case and span a length of over 31 feet, the height of a three-story building, according to a statement by Ripley's.
Chillal had not cut his nails on his left hand since 1952.
He had decided to grow his nails when he was scolded by his school teacher as a result of accidentally breaking the teacher's long nail. The teacher said that Chillal would never understand the importance of what he had done because Chillal had never committed to anything and then the miracle happened!

"I took it as a challenge," said Chillal
Ripley's said it was privileged to display the “unique and one-of-a-kind” exhibit. "Chillal dedicated his life to something truly remarkable and Ripley's is the perfect home to honour his legacy. While he may have cut his fingernails, his nails will be forever memorialized inside Ripley's Believe It or Not! Times Square,” Ripley's Believe It or Not! PR Manager Suzanne Smagala-Potts said in the statement.
