Sharjah: Roshna, daughter of Guinness world record-holder, M Dileef, has created a record for herself by creating the world’s longest cartoon strip based on the life of UAE-based businessman MA Yusuff Ali, Chairman and MD of Lulu Group.

The 430m long comic strip titled ‘The Billion Dollar Journey’ was presented to him by Roshna at the Sharjah Book Fair. The comic took almost 8 months to create in honour of Yusuff Ali’s inspirational journey from a village in Kerala to becoming one of the most influential yet humble businessmen in the world.
