An Indian politician, who made his fortune through a garment business, after quitting school in Grade 8 is celebrating his 45th birthday today in a custom-made shirt.

The shirt weighs 4 kilos and costs about Rs1.30 crore [about Dh777,400], reports NDTV.

Pankaj Parakh says gold always fascinated him. For his wedding, 23 years ago, he had sported more gold than his bride. He claims that many guests had then considered him an embarrassment.

Parakh says he has got detailed receipts and bank records to meet any income tax queries.
