Rutba, a national-level martial arts player with 60 medals, including a gold, is also skilled in calligraphy and painting.
Rutba shared her excitement over this achievement. “I had been applying for this record for the past three years, and after two failed attempts, I finally achieved it. Alhamdulillah, hard work never disappoints,” she said.
She revealed that she had kept her Guinness World Record attempt a secret to surprise her family. “My parents have always been my biggest supporters, encouraging me in both athletics and artistic pursuits. This international recognition is a proud moment for me and my entire family,” she added.
Rutba also holds records in the India Book of Records and has received national-level awards.
Talking about her latest accomplishment, she said, “Origami involves creating models by folding paper in different ways. I managed to make four boats per minute, which means one boat every 15 seconds. The journey was difficult and sometimes frustrating, but I stayed confident and kept working hard. After three years, I have finally achieved my dream.”
Her official Guinness World Record certificate reads: “Rutba Showkat took part in a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™️ attempt. The most Origami boats made in one hour is 250, achieved by Rutba Showkat (India) in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.”
It is worth mentioning that a Guinness World Record is an official recognition of a person’s achievement or a natural phenomenon. The Guinness World Records (GWR) organization maintains a database of these records and publishes them annually in a book.
