A gym-goer has gone viral after sharing his eleventh finger which comes in handy at the gym.

Karen Shetty was originally born with 12 fingers, however the sixth on his right hand had to be cut off when he was younger due to an infection.

Now, the 26-year-old has just 11, and the phenomenon is put down to his genes.

Not only did his great-grandfather have it, but so did three grandmothers and one auntie.

In a clip shared to Instagram, which has racked up 5.9 million views and over 92,800 likes, he shows how he uses the tiny finger in the gym, which grows just next to his pinky.

“In this generation, it’s me who has it now,” Karen, a network engineer from Mumbai, India, told What’s The Jam.

“It makes me unique.

“I can feel the finger, it has a bone but no joints.

“It can rotate up to 360° since it has no joints.

“Some of my families have even had nails can also grow on them.

“People around me find it cute and soft, they like to hold and play around with it.

“I also put on magic shows for kids below seven because it’s something unusual to them.”

In the video, he shows the front and back of his hand to the camera, showing off his small 11th finger which has grown just after where his pinky is.

He picks up a weight in the gym, and puts the finger around it.

Karen then starts to deadlift the weight.

He captioned the clip: “Say ‘HI’ to my cute little 6th finger,” which has gathered hundreds of comments.

Isiah said: “Bro that’s not fair.”
