Incredible: 50-Year Old Man Stopped Growing At 5. What he eventually said will shock you
-Odunayo Ajani
A 50-year-old Indian man whose height is that of a healthy 5-year-old is currently the toast of villagers and visitors to their tiny Indian village.
Basori Lal was said not to have any distinguishing feature from his peers while he was a toddler, it was only around age five that his family started to notice that he had stopped growing.
Due to the fact that his family were poor, seeking medical attention becomes so expensive to afford to at least know what was wrong with him, and to also see if the situation could be treated.
MailOnline reported that, Basori was never given a medical diagnosis, and to this day, his relatives have no clue to what caused him to be so short.
Gopi Lal, his 55-year-old elder brother, said: “Nobody was able to take him to a doctor. We are poor people, I am a labourer. Where would I take him?”
As the years unfold and as Basori grew older, he encountered some tough times such as bullying in his village, but thankfully, those days are past now.
The 50-year-old said: “People used to bully me a lot. They used to call me an alien. But that time is gone now. I am the only one who is being loved by the villagers.”
Presently at the age of 50, Basori lives with his brother Gopi and Gopi’s wife, Satia.
The 50-year-old works in a factory with his relatives, and says he enjoys a glass of whiskey every night before bed.
Basori since then has never married and says he doesn’t want to.
