The world's smallest woman, according to Guinness World Records, who has appeared in TV shows and films, including the popular series "American Horror Story: Freak Show".
Jyoti Amge, born on December 16, 1993, is an Indian actress renowned for being the world's shortest living woman, as declared by the Guinness World Records with a height of 62.8 centimeters (2 ft 0.8 in). This remarkable distinction has catapulted her into the spotlight, making her an international sensation.
Jyoti's restricted height is attributed to primordial dwarfism, a rare genetic disorder that affects the growth and development of an individual. Despite the challenges that come with this condition, Jyoti has defied expectations, embracing her uniqueness and leveraging it to inspire others.
In 2009, Jyoti's story was featured in the documentary "Body Shock: Two Foot Tall Teen," which chronicled her life and struggles. She went on to participate in the Indian reality TV show "Bigg Boss 6" and co-hosted "Lo show dei record" alongside Teo Mammucari on the Italian channel Canale 5 in 2012.
Jyoti's breakthrough role came in 2014 when she was cast in the fourth season of the acclaimed American Horror Story series, "Freak Show," as Ma Petite. Her performance earned her critical acclaim and further solidified her status as a rising star.
In 2012, Jyoti crossed paths with Chandra Bahadur Dangi, the world's shortest man, and the pair posed together for the 57th edition of the Guinness World Records.
Jyoti has used her platform to raise awareness about social causes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she collaborated with the Nagpur Police to urge Indian citizens to stay at home and adhere to lockdown protocols.
Jyoti Amge's remarkable story has inspired millions worldwide, challenging conventional beauty standards and redefining what it means to be exceptional. Her wax statue is proudly displayed at the Celebrity Wax Museum in Lonavala, a testament to her enduring legacy.
