A 22-year-old Indian man, Haramb Ashok Kumthekar from Goa, India, was born with six digits on each hand and seven digits on each foot.

Heramb is included in the Indian equivalent of the Guinness Book of Records, the Limca Book of Records. However, Heramb does not create nor break Guinness world record for most digits on a person because some of his fingers are technically attached, even though they have separate bones.

The official Guinness honour belongs to a 13-year-old Indian boy, Devendra Harne, from Kolkota, who has 12 fingers and 13 toes on his feet.

Heramb, who is a student of Masters in Business Management, is proud of his extra fingers and toes. “I am happy about it because I have something that others don’t have,” says Heramb.

Regardless, Heramb, who lives with his mother Seeta, 49, clearly sees his oddity as a gift rather than a curse.

Very optmistic man!
