DELHI (CNA) – Hoping to propel his career to greater heights, sales consultant Amit (not his real name) underwent surgery to break his bones and make himself taller.
At 1.6 metres, he felt everyone towered over him. With a new job in the United States (US) lined up, he decided to take his chances with orthopaedic surgeon and height-gain specialist Amar Sarin.
“There are moments when you feel that there’s no need, and why do you go through all the hassle?” said Amit, 36, who did not want to be identified.
“Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong … time will tell. But for your own self-confidence, I think a couple of centimetres shouldn’t hurt.”
