According to Huffington Post, Das has found some fame, but little fortune, for his efforts and that's a sticking point with his father, Sambhruam Das Das. He has said  that he won't stop sticking himself with needles until he gets recognized by Guinness World Records, but that could be a while. Since this record has already been claimed by a previous contestant.  The most needles inserted into the head is 2,188 and was achieved by Wei Shengchu (China), on the set of 'Guinness World Records - Rekorlar Dunyasi' in Istanbul, Turkey, on 11 June 2013.
