Multan man eyes world record with straight 700-hour TikTok live stream

Habeel, a TikTok enthusiast from Multan with a degree in English literature, is aiming to set a new world record for the longest continuous live stream on TikTok, targeting an ambitious 700 hours straight.

In an interview with local media, Habeel shared that the current record stands at 624 hours, set by a Chinese TikToker. Determined to break it, he also revealed that he has already surpassed the previous national record held by Pakistani TikToker Mr Patlo, who live-streamed for 100 hours.

Habeel expressed his desire to change the negative perception of TikTok in Pakistan, where the platform is often criticised for hosting vulgar content.
