Abhishek Bachchan's height is 6 feet 3 inches. In 2021 he confirmed his height by correcting a fan's social media post that stated he was 6′1″.

Another actor Arunoday Singh’s height is 6 feet 4 inches. He acted in the films like Apharan in 2018, Mohenjo Daro in 2016 and Yeh Saali Zindagi in 2011. He is from Madhya Pradesh.

He is from Punjab and he is the son of actor Pankaj Dheer. He made his acting debut in 2008 with Jodha Akbar and acted in the films like Ready, Dabangg 2 and Housefull 3 & 5.

But the tallest actor of Bollywood is Bhavesh Kumar whose height is 6 feet 6 inches.

He is an actor and also a television personality. He made his filmy debut in 2019 with Manoj Tiwari‘s film P Se Pyar F Se Faraar. In 2021 he acted in The Dark Jungle. He was born in 2000 in Rohtak, Haryana and his father is an international level boxer.

In his childhood Bhavesh Kumar was interested in sports and he wanted to make a career in boxing like his father. Bhavesh was a Discus Throw athelete from Haryana but he entered into the film field with Manoj Tiwari’s P Se Pyar F Se Faraar in which he did the role of Suraj Maali, an athelete at the age of 15 years. Manoj Tiwari had auditioned about 200 guys and he selected Bhavesh due to his extraordinary height.

Bhavesh didn't take any course of training in acting but he attended few workshops organized by various film TV institutes in Haryana.

By acting in Bollywood films he became the tallest Bollywood actor.

Another actor Praveen Kumar Sobti now he is not living with us, his height was 6′ feet 7 Inches .

He was known for acting in the mythological character Bheem in B.R Chopra's iconic television serial Mahabharat. Apart from being an actor, he was a hammer, discus thrower, politician and a BSF soldier. As an athelete he won 4 medals in Asian Games including 2 gold medals.

What is the tallest outdoor elevator in the world?

 It’s the Bailong Elevator:

It’s in China, as you may have guessed. It’s 1070 feet high and is in the Wulingyuan part of Zhangjiajie, China.

It reminds me a bit of game of thrones, the wall. That thought is reinforced by the fact that it’s called the 100 dragons elevator. But offers a ride for at least 50 visitors at a time. It cost $20 million to build.

If you are afraid of heights it might not be your thing. But it does offer an amazing view if you make it to that area.

Tallest Buildings In The World

The development of tall buildings in the late 18th century came as a result of the coincidence of several technological and social developments. These developments included the installation of the first safe passenger elevator (in the Haughwout Department Store, New York City) in 1857, the use of a cast-iron and wrought-iron framework to support the weight of upper floors, and the refinement of the Bessemer process, first used in the United States in the 1860s, which allowed for the major advance in skyscraper construction. As steel is stronger and lighter than iron, the use of a steel frame made possible the construction of truly tall buildings. Further refinements in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in engineering, materials, and other technologies allowed for even greater construction heights, resulting in buildings that far surpass 14 stories or more. The engineers of the Burj Khalifa, Dubai, for example, used a buttressed core, a kind of concrete spine that runs through an entire structure, to build the tallest building in the world. The list below offers an introduction to a few of the other tallest buildings in the world, many of which have been built in the 21st century in Asia and the Middle East, where construction costs tend to be lower than in other parts of the globe.
