In a breathtaking display of endurance and passion, Rajesh Sharma, a singer from Nagpur, has set a new world record by singing continuously for 80 hours, earning him a spot in the Guinness World Records.
The marathon singing session took place at a community hall in Nagpur, where hundreds of music lovers gathered to witness the historic attempt. Rajesh sang a wide range of songs — from Bollywood classics to devotional bhajans — without repeating a track, as per the strict guidelines of the record.
“This is a dream come true,” said an emotional Rajesh after completing the record attempt. “Music is my life, and breaking this record is my way of showing how powerful and limitless passion can be.”
Medical teams were on standby throughout the performance to monitor Rajesh’s health, ensuring he stayed hydrated and fit enough to continue. Breaks were allowed in accordance with Guinness rules — five minutes for every hour of singing — which he used wisely to rest and recharge.
The event turned into a citywide celebration as fans, local officials, and musicians came together to support him. Social media exploded with messages of admiration, with hashtags like #RajeshSingsFor80Hours and #NagpurPride trending across platforms.
Guinness World Records officials, who monitored the attempt via live streaming and video evidence, confirmed the new record late last night, calling it an “extraordinary achievement of talent, stamina, and sheer willpower.”
Rajesh now plans to take his passion for music global, hoping to inspire young artists to dream big and never give up. “Records are meant to be broken,” he said with a smile, “but the love of music is eternal.”
