Kathmandu, 05 May: A Nepali teenager danced continuously for 126 hours to set a Guinness World Records on ‘Longest Dancing Marathon by an Individual’, a feat previously held by an Indian.

 

At a function held in his official residence here on Saturday, Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli honoured the 18-year-old girl, Bandana Nepal, for achieving the feat.

 

Talking to PTI, Bandana, a resident of Dhankuta district in eastern Nepal, said she received the official confirmation from the Guinness Records on Friday.
