Few people live till the ripe old age of 96, leave alone father a child. But Ramajit Raghav has done just that. At 96, he has fathered a child to become the oldest dad in the world. Raghav and Shakuntala perhaps also deserve credit for daring to live in, in none other than Haryana, more than 17 years ago when the two met in Kharkhoda village in Sonepat district.
Now the toast of the media for having fathered a child at his age, the couple remained childless for the first 15 years of their relationship. Their first child, Vikramajit, was born only two years ago. And now, Raghav is the proud father of a second child. "We are expanding with the blessings of God. He must have wanted us to have another child. I'm more than happy," he says with a smile. Their second child, born on October 5, has been named Ranjit. Shakuntala says the delivery was normal and the child is healthy. "I don't have any expectations from either of my children. They'll make their own destiny," the father says.
