Pruthviraj Patil a young boy from the Sangli District near Mumbai born with the syndrome name hypertrichosis also know as werewolf syndrome. He is one among 50 people in the whole world with that syndrome which is very rare, that we can see from the numbers. Pruthviraj patil was born with hair grown all over his body including his face.



His mother Anitha said that When pruthviraj was born with this rarest condition people around them said she had given birth to God, few people said he is the bad omen and some said he is a supernatural creature. His family is feeling hard to accept his condition
He says that he is afraid to go in public as they use to stare at him and even some times bully him.He is normal and healthy like any other boy and very popular in his school.He use to play cricket with his friends.
Many treatments like Homeopathy,Indian Ayurvedic medicine and Laser treatments were have been undertaken to cure this condition but nothing proved to be permanent.


But this is not the first one to be popular in public. A few years back a whole family with this genetic syndrome was found in America by Ripley's believe it or not show.
