Harikant Sharma/Agra: There is a famous dialogue from the film ‘Sharaabi’…’If you have a moustache, it should be like Nathulal’s.’ But when people see Ramesh Kushwaha, a resident of Agra Namner, they say that if you have a moustache, it should be like Ramesh Kushwaha Baba’s. 80-year-old Ramesh Kushwaha has a 35-foot long moustache. He has been growing his moustache for the last 35 years. Now Ramesh Kushwaha is famous in the area as the moustache baba. Many domestic and foreign tourists come to take photos with his moustache.
I started growing my moustache as a hobby
While talking to Local18, Ramesh Kushwaha told that he started growing his moustache as a hobby about 35 years ago. After this, he kept getting praises from people and he never cut his moustache again. Today, after about 35 years, he has a 35 feet long moustache. The moustache is so long that it has to be tied. Once a week, he takes off one to maintain it or to comb it.
Ramesh baba doesn’t eat anything
Ramesh Baba lives in a 16*4 hut in Namner. He has a wife but no children. He has a water plant, which he also takes care of. Ramesh Kushwaha Baba does not eat or drink anything during the day. He only drinks milk. He has to take the help of two people to comb his moustache. His moustache is so long that he keeps it hanging around his neck like a garland.
Became a unique person in hobby
He said that he has been growing this moustache for the last 35 years just as a hobby. He has no desire to make any record. Neither does he want to get any honor. But if someone comes to see his moustache or take a photo, he does not refuse.
