You can turn your life around if you put the right amount of effort but Sameer Khan, 14, has turned his head around instead. To be precise, a whole 180 degree around! Being touted as ‘the human owl’ by netizens, his motivation came from a very unlikely source!
Hailing from Karachi, Pakistan, Sameer was inspired by Hollywood movies to test his flexibility. He was around seven years old when he saw a horror movie where the actor rotated his head an astonishing 180 degrees. Though it was the magic of special effects, Sameer was very fascinated by it.
He started practising for it and within a few months was able to achieve this feat. Imagine the shock of his mother when she saw her young boy turning his head around!
Sameer can also rotate his shoulders 360 degrees He has dropped out of school and is now part of a dance crew named ‘Dangerous Boys’. They perform at various shows throughout the country. He earns around 1000 rupees per show and with that, he supports his family.
The family responsibilities have fallen on his shoulder’s ever since his father fell ill. Though Sameer dropped out of school, he doesn’t want his sisters to grow without formal education.
Dancing has given him fame but he dreams of making it big in Hollywood with his superhuman flexibility. Sameer has been training on his dancing and gymnastic skills as well to help fulfil his dreams.
