Hyderabad resident Krishna Kumar just set a world record for giving away most hugs - 79 - in a minute. Guinness World Records recorded the event and posted the video on social media, which may just make you hug yourself and roll on the floor laughing. Kumar beat an earlier record by Australian resident Carrie Bickmore, who hugged 77 people at a 'Hugs for Healing' event at Sydney Children's Hospital in 2014. Dressed in formals and sports shoes, the Munnabhai Machine looks set for a sprint as he begins. The records management team, however, disqualified a few as they were "more headlocks than hugs."
