A 73-year-old Pakistani welder breaks second world record by cracking walnuts

Karachi – Pakistan’s oldest record-holding welder, Naseemuddin, has stunned the world by cracking 163 walnuts with his elbow in just 50 seconds, earning his second Guinness World Record.

According to Guinness World Records, the target was to crack 150 walnuts in one minute — but Naseemuddin beat the clock and the target. His achievement has now been officially recognised and recorded by Guinness.

A professional welder by trade, Naseemuddin specialises in crafting metal doors and windows. Previously, he set another world record by defeating a UK-based contender.

Naseemuddin also heads a Guinness World Record-holding family:

His son Rashid Naseem holds over 125 world records. His daughter-in-law and grandchildren are also world record holders. His grandson, Muhammad Ibrahim, made his first record at the age of 6. His granddaughter currently holds four world records.

Dedicating his latest achievement to the Pakistan Army, Naseemuddin said: “My passion is still strong. If my country ever needs me, I will proudly stand with our armed forces.”
