Debunked Rumor[]

According to The Tallest Man, non-active site, which debunked many giants. Vikas Uppal apppeared in photographs to be proportionate, not obviously a pathological (acromegalic, for example) giant, if that would be true he would be tallest non-disease giant. Although it is now likely Debunked, since Rang De Basanti clips suggest, that he was Acromegalic. Also, in other version, of video about him, it suggest that his height was caused by Gigantism (now confirmed), and likely acromegaly. Some people also believe, that he was killed especially (likely not true).
