He said that although his new feature made him stand out, it came with its own complications and also hindered his plans for the future.

“I was planning to go to driving school, but even when I shift the seat back, I can’t hold the steering wheel. I can’t stretch my legs because my knees will knock the wheel. I used to play football like every other young man; I was athletic, but now I cannot even walk short distances,” he said in the video.” he said in the video

“I’m still growing taller. Who knows, maybe one day I may get to that height too. Every three or four months, I grow, If you haven’t seen me for three or four months and you see me, you’d realise I have increased,” he opined.
