Hyderabad man sets world record for most number of hugs

One Indian man decided to hug his way to the Guinness World Records by giving the most number of hugs in one minute. Krishan Kumar, who is a resident of Hyderabad, managed to hug a total of 79 people in just 60 seconds and earned his place in history on March 5th, 2016.

A hilarious video shows Kumar quickly giving hugs to individuals –



both children and adults – who are waiting in line for their turn. There’s even a guy who makes sure that the volunteers move smoothly as they queue for a quick embrace.

Apart from two people keeping track of the time using stopwatches, a man can also be heard in the background counting the number of people receiving the hugs.
