Popular educator and YouTuber Faizal Khan, renowned as Khan Sir shared a video of getting tied over 15,000 rakhis on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan 2025. Buzz on social media is that it is an unofficial world record for the largest number of rakhis tied to an individual.
Khan Sir sat on the stage where female students tied him the sacred thread. The programme commenced at 10 am in the morning and continued late in the afternoon. During the ceremony the educator announced on the mike, “Khoon ruk gaya hai, doctor ko bulao,” as his hand became stiff.
After the ceremony, Khan Sir showed off his hand tied by thousands of rakhi. He quipped, “
Raksha Bandhan ki dher saari shubhkaamnayein
Rakhi toh aaj 15,000 se zyada ho gaya hai
Uth bhi nahi paa raha hai haath mera
Is kaliyug mein hum itne saubhagyashaali hai ki itna raakhi bandha gaya hai
Ab uthenge kaise bhaiya
Ek aadmi humein pakad ke le jana padega
Aur dhyaan dijiyega kisi bhi ladki ko khane pine mein koi problem nahi hona chahiye
(Happy Raksha Bandhan. It’s over 15,000 rakhis now. I am unable to even lift my hand. In this Kaliyug era, it’s my good fortune that these many rakhis were tied to me. Now I need a person to help me get up. And please ensure these girls don’t feel any inconveniences.)
He says, “It is my good fortune that my students tie rakhi. We have to protect our rich culture. Raksha Bandhan is a festival for brother and sister. And this thread… pic.twitter.com/3w6AS6iTFS

Here’s how the internet reacted. “Bhaichare ki misaal hai (epitome of brotherhood), ” remarked one, while another user quipped that Khan Sir should be labelled as “Super Bhai” now. A few others dropped memes trolling the educator.

सच में, खान सर को नॉलेज के साथ-साथ राखियों का भी ऑल-टाइम चैंपियन कहा जा सकता है भाईचारे की मिसाल हैं वो
