The Guinness World Record

Hindi entertainment channel Colors is set to bring an Indian version of ‘Guinness World Records’ soon, and Indians will get a chance to showcase talent that can become new world records. ‘Guinness World Records, Ab India Todega’, to be produced by Miditech Pvt Ltd, will be launched early 2011. The channel is on the lookout for a ‘Bollywood face’ to host the show.






Guinness, the globally recognised authority on record breaking, will validate the achievements of the Indian participants as they attempt to break the existing records, and also recognise new world ones.


‘Guinness … will provide Indian participants an opportunity to go down in history by having their achievements validated by an internationally recognised institution, a reward more precious than what any other reality show can offer on Indian television today,’ Colors Head of Programming Ashvini Yardi said in a statement.

The Guinness has enthralled viewers in around 90 countries with its TV shows. Now the bosses are excited about the foray into India.
‘This new deal demonstrates the incredible global reach and relevance of Guinness, and we look forward to welcoming a lot more Indian talent to the record books. We believe India has a wealth of undiscovered record breakers who have the talent and determination to make the impossible possible,’ said Rob Molloy, Guinness’ director of television.


Miditech co-founder Niret Alva said the show will be a window for the world to see the spirit in India.

‘There are few brands like the Guinness which lend themselves wonderfully to television and offer endless possibilities for season after season in an individual market. We are proud and happy to be producing a show which has incredible scale and variety and some never seen before action.’

Terrence Lewis broke the record of choreographing the largest crowd in Colors' Guinness World Records - Ab India Todega...


India has already started breaking records that were set by people across world thro' COLORS' Guinness World Records - Ab India Todega. Here again we have our own, Master of contemporary dance Terrence Lewis, who broke a record that was set in Australia.

Terrence recently set a record by choreographing 1336 people at one go in an hour. He broke a record that was set in Australia where 1235 people were choreographed within an hour.

Being on cloud nine a very excited Terrence says "I am really happy that I made India proud and have brought the honor back to India. The moment was really an emotional one as well because I set the record in my own school ground where I started dancing".

Speaking about the experience and how he set the record, he says "I had a great experience choreographing people, but the main challenge was to alert them about the event and to get them participate in it. We had only two days for the preparation and I could only get hold of some people. When I asked school children, they said they really wanted to participate but had exams the next day, and there were also other problems to face as the event was a day prior to Holi and they had to perform in the afternoon heat".

"But finally people turned up for the event on a large scale and I am thankful to all those who came there to make the event a grand success. I felt that only we have the courage to stand under the hot sun for an hour and create a record for our country".

But what really encouraged Terrence to take this step?

He answers "I am a representative of International Council of Dance and they had asked me to generate the interest in people in dance by conducting activities here. I felt this could be the best way to do it and hence I approached the team of the show. But then Rob, from Guinness team UK, said that the task had to be done in two days as they were leaving. And hence all was done in a great hurry, but all our efforts really paid off."

Terrence choreographed a Bollywood number on the song Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom and intends to break his own record by choreographing more people on his contemporary style, which he assures will be soon.

He expresses his gratitude to various platforms the he got "I am really thankful to Dance India Dance for giving me the recognition and platform to stage myself and also the crew of Colors TV and their show Chak Dhoom Dhoom 2 - Team Challenge."

congratulates Terrence for his grand achievement and also looks forward for his next record breaking choreography!!!

Shabbir Ahluwalia broke the record of longest motorcycle ride through a tunnel of fire...

Shabir Ahluwalia proved himself to be the real Khatron Ke Khiladi when it comes to attempting heart breaking stunts. After evidencing his mettle in the last season of Khatron Ke Khiladi, one could only wait to see his next big move in the adventure.

After the wait, he bags probably his biggest achievement after creating a record and inking his name in Colors' Guinness World Records- Ab India Todega.

Our source says, "Shabir attempted the record of longest motorcycle ride through a tunnel of fire. The stunt was comparatively death defying considering he is not a trained stuntsman and similar attempts can cause severe injuries."

"The only existing record was held by Clint Ewing who set the record in a distance of 200 ft. Shabir, who had earlier taken a pledge to break a record, rode through the fiery tunnel and set a new record that surpassed the old one by covering a distance of 224 ft 8 inch. With this, Shabir not only fulfilled his wish but also kept his promise given to his fans", adds the source.

Talking about his stunt, an elated Shabir said, "Yes, it's really a very nice feeling to break a world record. I was always a fan of Guinness World Record and I used to always think that the people who break the record are very extra ordinary. When I saw this act, I asked the production house whether I could give a shot to break the record. And when it comes to risk and adventure, I am always on it and this means a lot as I have broken a World Record."

We congratulate Shabir Ahluwalia, not only for breaking the record, but also for being the first television actor to break a World Record.

Manav-Shweta, new Guiness world Record holders!


Manav-Shweta, Nandish-Rashmi to compete each other in Colors' Guinness World Records - Ab India Todega

It is said that behind every successful man, there is a woman, and well the adage shall see its literal demonstration on Friday's episode of Colors TV's Guinness World Records – Ab India Todega.

It was the first time in history of the show, that two known Television couples Nandish Sandhu – Rashmi Desai (fame Uttaran) and Manav Gohil – Shweta Kawatra, both hailing from the same town battled each other out to win and set a world record for 'Fastest Wife Carrying Backwards for 20mtrs'.

The two couples were running neck to neck and the studio audience was glued to their seats as they enjoyed each minute of this exciting contest. But as the couples closed onto the finishing line, Nandish slipped and fell on the ground along with his wife Rashmi, which gave an easy chance for Manav to overtake and win.

Rob declared that he needed to have a look at a slow motion replay, and declared Manav and Shweta to be the winner.

A very excited Shweta says, "I was like Oh God, all of Manav's efforts shouldn't go in vain".

And Manav too expressed his happiness as he says, "I am happy we won at the end of the day".

Manav and Shweta are now the world leaders in this task as they set a record of 7.2. seconds.
