While speaking to MangoBaaz about this, here’s what Ahsan shared:
”It is not an easy process at all. It takes about 6 months. You have to submit an application. Once your application is approved, they ask for strong evidence, consisting of the pictures or videos you have made during the entire process.”
”Being unaware of the application process, I made a number of mistakes. But my record manager helped me through it. On the second go, I was able to upload everything successfully.”
On talking about beating the world record of an Indian, Ahsan stated,
”I originally broke the previously-held record of 50 links of lead. But during my application process, an Indian emerged with the world record of 58 links. Instead of getting dismayed, I worked and was able to break the record with a whopping 75 links.”
