She crowned world’s shortest women record with a 61.92 cm tall and she weighs only 12lbs (5.5 Kg) which 9lbs more than when she was in at birth and has a form of dwarfism call achondroplasia, which stopped her growing after her first birthday and she is likely to stay the same size for the rest of her life.

The previous record holder was Bridgette Jordan, an American girl who is 2 feet and 3 inches tall (68.58 Cm). Jyoti measured as nearly 7 inches shorter than Bridgette Jordan. She has grown less than 1cm (0.4in) in the last two years, Guinness said in a statement, and will grow no more due to a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.

Jyoti Amge, lives in Nagpur, India, as a baby of the family with sister Rupali, 21, Archana, 26, mother Ranjana Amge, 48, father Kishan, 55, and brother Satish, 25.

As a teenager at school in Nagpur, Jyoti had her own small desk and chair to get her right of study as others students. Also she has a specially made bed to sleep and utensils to use that are smaller than average.

Jyoti has a tall dream to become a Bollywood film star even she considers as a shortest woman in the world. Feel sad to say that she has brittle bones so need to take care for the rest of her life.
