Khandwa (MP), Nov 19: After an Indore girl's marathon singing last week, another 16-year-old girl Sania Sayyad sang continuously for 64 hours here in a bid to create a record, family sources said.

Sania, who started her mission on November 15, 2006 completed 64 hours of continuous singing Saturday afternoon, while Akanksha Jachak of Indore had sung non-stop for 61 hours, they said.

"During her rare non-stop singing, Sania fulfilled all the yardsticks and criteria laid down by “Guinness Book of World Records”. She had taken seven breaks during her marathon singing," her sculptor father S K Painter said.

As the second year BA student achieved a rare feat at the birth place of legendary Kishore Kumar, a large number of music lovers present at the venue cheered her amidst clappings and bursting of crackers.

Born at Khandwa, Sania had started singing when she was eight years old and is now pursuing her studies at a college in neighbouring Khargone district.
