๐ Record Holder
Panshul Jindal is a resident of Gurgaon, Haryana, India, whose anatomical proportions have baffled medical professionals, structural engineers, insurance underwriters, and the global lingerie industry alike. His case represents the first โ and currently only โ instance of male mammary tissue growth at this scale without surgical intervention. Featured in Seena: The Untold Story (2024) and subject of a GoFundMe campaign to sue gravity itself.
๐ฌ Verification Status
The verification attempt in October 2023 resulted in the assessor being hospitalized (measuring tape injury โ hairline fracture of measuring hand, later diagnosed as "Panshul-Induced Structural Compromise"). A replacement assessor declined after reviewing preliminary documentation.
Guinness World Records has committed to assembling a "more prepared team" with "adequate personal protective equipment" for the 2027 verification cycle. This will include:
- Two assessors (in case one is injured)
- Reinforced industrial measuring equipment (metric system only โ the imperial system couldn't handle the conversion)
- Orthopaedic surgeon on standby (confirmed: Dr. Hans Mueller from Germany, via India)
- Structural engineer (to verify integrity of... everything)
- Psychological counsellor (for staff)
- Emergency backup bra (Category 6 โ theoretical)
"When I first encountered Panshul's case, I thought it was a joke. Then I ran the numbers. Then I bought a sturdier calculator. Then I published a paper that has been cited 847 times and counting. The Jindal Constant (ฮธ = F/m ร 14.2) is now taught in 14 engineering schools across India."
๐ The Failed Measurement of October 2023
โ Attempt #1: The Measuring Tape Incident
Assessor: Anonymous (name withheld for privacy, also for embarrassment)
Equipment: Standard 150cm measuring tape (GWR Issue Model 2019)
What Happened: The assessor attempted to measure the underbust circumference using standard equipment. Upon attempting to wrap the tape around Panshul's chest, the tape experienced what physicists would later term "gravitational lock." The tape refused to return to its housing. When the assessor attempted to remove it manually, he experienced a hairline fracture of the measuring hand.
Outcome: 6 weeks of physiotherapy. Hospital Administrator Mr. Pillai refused to comment. Dr. V.K. Gupta's assessment: "Standard measuring equipment is not designed for 14.2kg distributed masses."
"I was the first. Back in 2022, before anyone knew what we were dealing with. I used a standard medical ruler. It was too short. I got a longer one. Also too short. By the time we found a ruler that could span the distance, I'd developed what I now call 'measurement anxiety.' Dr. Meera Sharma had to take over. Her MRI report said 'Error: Object exceeds field of view.' She thought the machine was broken."
"The MRI machine had never seen anything like it. We ran the protocol for standard chest imaging. The machine returned 'ERROR: OBJECT EXCEEDS FIELD OF VIEW.' I called maintenance. They said the machine was fine. I ran it again. Same error. That's when I understood: the machine wasn't broken. Reality was broken."
"After the measuring tape incident, I submitted the Guinness application with supporting documentation from 12 medical professionals. I also donated โน14,200 to the GoFundMe โ one rupee per gram. It's become a tradition. Every medical professional who verifies Panshul's case now donates proportionally. We're up to 47 verified doctors. That's โน6,67,400 in medical donations."
"I thought I'd seen everything in lingerie retail. I've measured Miss Universe contestants. I've fitted Olympic athletes. I've handled international returns. Nothing โ nothing โ prepared me for Panshul Jindal. When he walked into our Singapore store, I called our global headquarters. I said, 'We have a situation.' They said, 'What kind of situation?' I said, 'The kind that requires engineering.' I resigned the next week. The goats are better company."
๐ Record Certificate (Provisional)
Verification Date: October 2027 (projected)
Measurement Standard: Modified GWR-BODY-2024-EXT protocol (developed specifically for this case)
Independent Witnesses: Dr. Meera Sharma (AIIMS), Victoria's Secret Singapore (under protest), IIT Delhi Structural Engineering
Certificate ID: GWR/2024/PJ-36DD
This certificate printed on 300gsm archival paper with reinforced corners
"I was consulted about insuring the verification process. I said no. Then I was asked about insuring Panshul himself. I said 'absolutely not.' Then I was asked about insuring the certificate. I said, 'Is the certificate going to experience gravitational anomalies?' They said, 'The subject might be near it.' I declined. Lloyd's of London has a new category: 'Act of Panshul.' It's not covered."
๐ Application Timeline
Initial Discovery
Guinness World Records receives informal inquiry from AIIMS New Delhi regarding "a case that defies all medical classification." Dr. Lakshmi Menon (Endocrinologist, Kochi) is the first to declare it "not a tumor." The medical community collectively says, "Then what IS it?"
Category Creation
GWR establishes "Largest Male Breasts (Non-Surgical)" as a new record category โ previously, no such category was deemed necessary. Standard gynecomastia cases ranged from 100g to 2kg. Veterinarian Dr. Mohan is consulted by mistake and says, "I usually treat dairy cows."
Official Application Submitted
Complete application dossier submitted by Dr. Meera Sharma (AIIMS) with supporting documentation from 12 medical professionals, including Dr. V.K. Gupta's orthopedic assessment, Dr. Fatima Begum's MRI report ("ERROR"), and Physiotherapist Kavitha's 47-step exercise routine (Panshul completed 2 steps. Broke a bench.)
โ First Verification Attempt Failed
Assessor sustains injury during measurement attempt. Standard measuring equipment proved insufficient. Nurse Rekha Pillai (Apollo Hospital) confirmed: "We don't have beds wide enough." Investigation postponed. The assessor is now recovering and has requested reassignment to "World's Largest Bubblegum Bubble."
Application Status Update
GWR confirms record category is valid and the measurements provided are "unprecedented." New verification team being assembled. Dr. Chen Wei (Stanford) collaborates on joint paper with IIT Moob-bay. Lactation Consultant Mrs. D'Souza is called by mistake, leaves crying: "I'm not qualified for this."
๐บ Documentary Release
Seena: The Untold Story premieres, providing unprecedented public documentation of the case. The film features 14 bra destruction sequences, a 7-hook titanium underwire, and TTE R.P. Mishra's 0.8 Hz field radio call. Box office: โน847 Crore. The number 847 becomes significant.
๐ Projected Verification Date
Team equipped with industrial-grade measurement equipment, orthopaedic backup, psychological counsellor, and "proper mental preparation" scheduled to conduct independent assessment. Dr. Vladimir Petrov (Russian sports scientist) has been consulted: "In Soviet Russia, chest lifts you."
"In my country, we have strongmen who pull trucks. We have strongmen who lift stones. We have strongmen who carry refrigerators. None of them have carried what Panshul carries. 14.2 kilograms. Every day. Without training. Without rest. Without choice. This is not strength. This is... destiny. Also, physics violation."
๐ Previous Record Holders (Sort Of)
โ โ 14.2kg
No Previous Record โ Category Created Specifically For This Case
| Case Reference | Location | Mass (Approx) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Historical Gynecomastia (Largest documented) | Global literature | ~2 kg | Standard cases, treated as medical anomaly |
| Panshul Jindal (Current) | Gurgaon, India | 14.2 kg | 7x previous record; requires Category 5 Bra |
| Projected "Category 6" theoretical maximum | N/A | ~20 kg | Physicists refuse to speculate beyond this point |
Context: Prior to Panshul Jindal, Guinness World Records did not maintain a category for "Largest Male Breasts (Non-Surgical)" because no documented case warranted it. The previous "highest-known non-surgical case" (2kg) was considered an extreme outlier. Panshul represents a 7x increase over that already-extreme baseline. As Dr. Roberto Santos (Brazilian plastic surgeon) noted: "Even I can't help here."
"I have reduced gynecomastia cases for 30 years. I have removed 5kg tissue masses. I have reconstructed chests after trauma. When I saw Panshul's case study, I called my colleagues. We reviewed the scans. We reviewed the measurements. Then I called him and said, 'I'm sorry. Even I can't help here.' It's not that the surgery is impossible. It's that the recovery would require... I don't know. A space station? Less gravity?"
๐ฅ 2027 Verification Team (In Preparation)
GWR has assembled a specialized team for the October 2027 verification attempt, incorporating lessons learned from the 2023 failure:

๐ง Reconsidering"They asked me to come back for the 2027 verification. I said no. They said, 'But you're the only one who knows the spine.' I said, 'My hands aren't that strong.' They said, 'We'll provide assistants.' I said, 'How many?' They said, 'Three.' I am... reconsidering. For science. Also, they offered to pay my therapy bills."
๐ Projected Award Ceremony
If the 2027 verification is successful, Guinness World Records has confirmed that the award ceremony will feature several unprecedented accommodations:
- The certificate will be presented on a reinforced podium rated for dynamic loads
- Photographers will be positioned at a 5-meter minimum distance (standard is 2 meters)
- The traditional "confetti toss" will be modified to "confetti drop from above" to avoid projectile interference
- Two backup certificates will be prepared in case the first one experiences "structural fatigue" during the ceremony
- Insurance coverage for the venue has been increased by 400%
"I was asked to provide life insurance for the ceremony attendees. I calculated the risk. I submitted the numbers to our headquarters in London. They called back and asked if it was a typo. I said no. They said, 'For a certificate ceremony?' I said, 'You don't understand. It's not about the certificate. It's about what the certificate represents.' They approved the policy at 4x normal rates."
