“I love London and to be able to finally meet Chandra after all this time is amazing.

“Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives and when I look into Chandra’s eyes, I can see he’s a good man.”

Chandra added:

“It’s been a lifelong dream to travel and becoming a Guinness World Records title holder has enabled me to do that.

“I’m honored to be in London, I’ve always wanted to visit and the fact I get to meet Sultan is special.

“It makes me extremely proud to represent Nepal all around the world, I’m extremely humbled by the support I receive.”

Unfortunately, Chandra died in 2015.
