Standing 6 feet 7 inches tall, India’s tallest teenager Yashwant Raut aims to become the world’s tallest man. Because of Yashwant’s height, the teenager, from Solapur, Maharashtra, has become a local celebrity.

Aged just 14, the youngster has time on his side to grow a little under less than two feet to topple the current holder, Sultan Kösen. Kösen, who measures 8 feet 2.8 inches, lives in Ankara, Turkey.
