Both Alam and Zehra broke the world record in fictional dates previously held by India; however, the latter scored higher than the former’s record and thus got the Guinness World Records title.
“It’s an honour to be recognised by the Guinness World Records, I can now say, ‘I am officially amazing!’,” Alam said.
