The man with a golden shirt!

If you have seen people doing weirdest and hardest of things to get his or her name in the Guinness Book of World Record, here is an oddball who found a novel way to get the acclaim! He has flaunted a shirt made of solid gold worth over 8 crores Indian rupees (£14,000)!

The wealthy Pune man, 32-year-old money-lender Datta Phuge, has made heads turn when he made his appearance, clad in golden shirt and sporting heavy gold chains and bracelets. And Phuge hopes his new dazzling addition to his wardrobe will make him a hit with the ladies!

Speaking to the Pune Mirror, he reportedly said: "I know I am not the best looking man in the world but surely no woman could fail to be dazzled by this shirt?"

The money-lender, from Pimpri-Chinchwad, told reporters that the shirt took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold threads. It comes complete with its own matching cuffs and a set of rings crafted from left-over gold.

Mr Phuge told the Pune Mirror, that the clothing will be “an embellishment” to his reputation as the ‘Gold man of Pimpri’.” “The gold shirt has been one of my dreams,” he was quoted as saying.

The shirt also features six Swarovski crystal buttons and a solid gold belt.
