Meet the man with a shirt made of gold - TopicsExpress

Meet the man with a shirt made of gold Pankaj Parakh wears his pure gold shirt that costs Rs 1.30 crore during a thanksgiving visit at Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai.Pankaj Parakh, a school dropout who made his fortune from his garment fabrication business and who is a corporator to boot, is no stranger to opulence. Whenever he ventures on to the streets in Yeola, 260 km from Mumbai, women stare at him and men glare at him as he is adorned with gold jewellery weighing at least two-three kg.Now, at a special function on his 45th birthday Friday, Parakh will wear his latest acquisition at a huge gathering,With the shirt and its seven gold buttons, Parakh hopes to enter the Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records.Gold has always fascinated me since I was five years old and studying in school. Over the years, I have become passionate about this royal metal. I have got this special shirt stitched to mark my 45th birthday this Friday, Parakh told IANS in an exclusive tete-a-tete.The shirt was designed by Bafna Jewellers of Nashik, 85 km away, and meticulously executed by Shanti Jewellers at Parel in Mumbai, where a team of around 20 select artisans spent 3,200 hours over the past two months to stitch it.Parakh, who took delivery in Mumbai, offered a sneak peek of his treasured shirt and even wore it for a darshan of the citys famed Siddhivinayak Temple before posing for some pictures near the temple, while curious onlookers watched from a distance.He said that the gold used in the shirt is of 18-22 carat purity, without any mixture of any other metals - and the entire deal is properly accounted for (an assurance to snoopy tax sleuths!).Though made of gold, the shirt is fully flexible and comfortable, absolutely smooth and harmless and with a thin cloth lining the inside to avoid rubbing the body.Besides, it can be washed and hung-dried, and if torn or damaged, can be repaired and modified with a lifetime guarantee of durability, Parakh said.
