Radhakant Bajpai refuses to cut his ear hair, believing it brings him good luck

Maintained by a specially prepared blend of herbal shampoo, Mr Radhakant has so far resisted the pleas of his long suffering wife to cut it off.

“She has always been asking me to cut my ear-hair, but since the official record was confirmed by Guinness, she has allowed me to keep it because it is a source of pride to me,” said Mr Radhakant, a resident of the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Together, his ear hair tufts measure almost 20 inches long and now he no longer feels that the eyes of the world stare at him when out in public.

“Before people would tease me, not maliciously, but still would ask me why I never cut my ear hair.

Now I tell people with pride about the good fortune that my hair has brought me. Such as when I graduated from a prestigious college in my state and when I met my wife, although I must admit my hair was not as long then.”

Considered by Mr Radhakant, 58, to be symbol of luck and prosperity, his ear-hair has been growing since he was 18 and has never been cut.
