With same birthdate, nine-member Larkana family holds distinct world record

Seven Mangi children also hold record for most siblings born on same day

LARKANA (Web Desk) – In a unique coincidence of sharing much more common than just the surname or last family name, the nine members of a Larkana family in Sindh have the same birthdate.

They all were born on the same date of the same month.

According to Guinness World Records, "the family of nine consists of the father, Ameer Ali; the mother, Khudeja; and seven children aged 19-30: Sindhoo, female twins Sasui and Sapna, Aamir, Ambar, and twins Ammar and Ahmar. Remarkably, they all share the same birthday: Aug 1. This is a world record for the most family members born on the same day."

The date is extra special for Ameer and Khudeja as it’s also their wedding anniversary as they were married on their birthday in 1991, exactly one year before their eldest daughter was born.

The couple saw it as a ‘gift from God’ when their children were conceived and born naturally on the same date.

Ameer says, “it's all natural, from Allah,” and he didn’t intentionally plan for his children to be born on the same day. And this is not all which is unique about this family, as its members hold two other records. The seven Mangi children also hold the record for the most siblings born on the same day. 

As per the Guinness World Records, the title was previously held by five children from the USA's Cummins family, who were all born on Feb 20 between 1952 and 1966. This was the only verified example of a family producing five children with coincident birthdays until discovered by Guinness.

Meanwhile, being two sets of twins with coincident birthdays, Sasui and Sapna, and Ammar and Ahmar, equal the record for the most twin siblings born on the same day.

“Earlier we used to celebrate our birthdays in a simple manner, but now we do it a lot more and with a lot of happiness,” said Sasui.

However, the birthday cake is one for sure instead of nine different cakes.
