Indian man's facial attraction

An Indian man from Rajasthan is inching his way to a hair-raising record with what could be the world's longest moustache.Ram Singh Chauhan, who started growing his moustache in 1982, is a major attraction with tourists in the city.He takes great care of his facial hair when he is not performing on the streets by wrapping it in a cloth and hanging it around his neck.He regularly massages it with mustard and coconut oil to keep it healthy.Mr Chauhan said: "Whatever endeavour we take in life, we have to work very hard for it, we have to struggle and toil hard for it. The moustache has to be tended and nurtured just like a baby."But the moustache hasn't always brought him luck. He was in a near fatal accident with a motorist after the driver could not take his eyes off the facial attraction."That is the biggest moustache I have ever seen. Congratulations to him for having gone so long," said one stunned Australian tourist.© Independent Television News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
