Indian family to set world record of 'Tallest Family'
They stand out wherever they go and now India's tallest family is hoping to set a new world record with their combined height, reports Daily Mail.
The Kulkarnis, from the city of Pune in the east of the country, tower above their countrymen. Sharad Kulkarni, 52, stands at 7ft 1.5ins tall and his wife Sanjot, 46, is 6ft 2.6ins tall. Their daughters Mruga, 22, and Sanya, 16, are 6ft 1ins and 6ft 4ins respectively. The family's combined height is a staggering 26ft.
Mr and Mrs Kulkarni were crowned India’s tallest couple by their country’s Limca Book of Records after they married in 1989.
How are they setting a world record? Aren't all the south sudanese tall like 6'5 and up? I'm sure there are plenty of tall families IMO or maybe this is just a record for India?
Yes I am not sure this record. Who keeps track of the "combined height of families"? A numerically larger family of average sized members could have a greater sum total of height too.
Also, I wonder if they've ever heard of the Gasol brothers of the NBA?
There's two of them in the NBA and they're both legit 7 footers. and they have a younger brother, who's in the same ballpark height wise.
