More about the Mangi family
The family consists of father Ameer Ali, mother Khudeja, and seven kids whose age ranges between 19 and 30. Among the seven children, there are two sets of twins, one male and one female.
After his first child, who was born on August 1, 1992, he was 'surprised and delighted' and saw it as a 'gift from god'. As per the Guinness World Records website, all seven children were born naturally, which means without any medical help like cesarean section. ''It was all natural; from Allah,'' the Guinness website quoted Ameer as saying.
His first set of twins, Sasui and Sapna, was born in 1998, and the second one, Ammar and Ahmar, in 2003.
Sasui said that earlier the family used to celebrate birthdays in a simple manner, but now they do a lot more and with a lot of happiness, the Guinness World Records website reported.
