With a weight of 42 kilograms and a height of 1 meter 30 centimeters, two-year-old Karan Singh is recognized as the tallest baby on earth
Karan is twice the size of his peers - and his giant mother believes this is just the beginning. Svetlana Singh, whose height is 2 meters 20 centimeters, is the tallest woman in Asia. Next to her, her own husband appears to be a dwarf. A proud woman asks God that her son will outgrow her. “He was born very big and now his height is half of mine. I hope that he will soon outgrow me,”says Svetlana.
Svetlana is a basketball player preparing to represent India in international competitions to be held in Delhi in a month … "His height is his advantage and if he wants to play basketball in the future, I will send him to America so he can train there."
The baby's father, Sanjay, a doctor by profession, met Svetlana at the university in Bangalore. The growth and fame of the basketball player struck Sanzhai. “I liked her easy and cheerful character and I didn't think long when she invited me to marry,” Sanzhai says. “Wherever I am, I am always the tallest, but in comparison my wife, I feel unusually small. People say that I have to respect my wife, but in my case I already have to look at her from the bottom up."
Karan, who at birth was twice the size of normal babies, never fit into baby clothes and now wears clothes that are designed for children much older than him. … “We always buy the biggest clothes for Karan, and after five months he grows out of them…” “I had to throw out all the baby clothes I bought for him and go back to the market. People at the hospital advised me to buy clothes for one year old babies,”laughs Karan's proud father.

The family of giants spends £ 124 a month on food - almost three times as much as their neighbors. “When Karan wakes up, the first thing Karan asks about is food and tea. He asks for food whenever he sees that someone is eating,”says Svetlana. "He would never stop eating if I didn't stop him."
