"When he was around one year and nine months, I started reading bedtime stories for him. I narrated and acted like the characters of the stories and in the morning when I read them again he would automatically say the last line of the stories. I understood that he was interested in reading and then started teaching him the names of planets and continents. To our surprise, he grasped the names very quickly. When he properly learnt the names of zodiac signs, oceans and political leaders, only then we approached the India Book of Records to showcase his talents," said Avaith's father Vinayaka Sardeshmukha.
Advait also has a youtube channel and is actively involved in singing and painting.
