And is has helped him amaze his parents and friends. But the 13 year old want to carve his name into the Guinness Book of World records by using his potential to his advantage. Mangesh Kopker has been training Aditya for eight years and he credits his crazy twisting skills to his coach.
He said, ‘I have been practicing contortion for eight years and my coach has taught me the technicality and intricacies involved in performing these moves.’
His parents are never worried by his bendy moves rather they are amazed by it and never bothered taking him to the hospital. Instead they took him Mangesh Kopker, Aditya’s coach of eight years.
Pranali Prakash Jangum is Aditya’s mother and she is used to Aditya’s moves. When she sees her boy join the family for meals at the lunch table she does not even bat an eye. Aditya is a celebrity of sorts in the locality as he is very happy to perform for an audience around his house or at the academy.

He is nicknamed as Snake boy and he is considered a super star by his friends and family.
