5. Naseer Soomro—7’10
Several people of astonishing statures have originated from Pakistan, standing well over seven feet in height. Naseer Soomro is just one of them. But Soomro has a lot more credits to his name besides being the tallest man in Pakistan and one of the tallest people in the world.
He is a journalist, a linguist, a critic, and a bilingual poet. The 52-year-old is also a freelance editor, as well as the author of many published works and books.
His acclaim around his hometown however, is accredited more to his height than his professional works. Authorities in his hometown of Shikarpur and the city of Karachi have told him not go out on weekends because they have trouble controlling the crowds of people that congregate to see him.
