Jyoti Amge is renowned globally for her remarkable achievement as the world’s shortest woman, a title she’s held since 2011. This incredible journey, starting from her recognition as the world’s smallest teenager, has led her to an impressive career in acting and global recognition.

Wiki/Biography

Born on Thursday, December 16, 1993, in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, Jyoti Amge’s zodiac sign is Sagittarius. She completed her primary education at a local school in Nagpur. Her early years were marked by the challenges of living with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism that affects bone growth.

Physical Appearance

Jyoti’s small stature, approximately 2 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 5 kg, is a defining characteristic. Her striking features include black hair and black eyes. Despite her size, she maintains an active lifestyle and has adapted her surroundings to ensure her comfort and independence.

Family

Jyoti comes from a Hindu family. Her parents, Kishanji Amge and Ranjana Amge, have been incredibly supportive throughout her life. She has three older sisters: Vaishali, Rupali, and Archana – and an older brother, Satish. Her family’s love and unwavering support have been instrumental in her success.

Career

Jyoti’s ambition to become an actress blossomed early. Her Guinness World Record brought international attention, leading to documentary appearances. This exposure opened doors to notable roles.

• In 2013, she appeared on the reality TV show, Bigg Boss, and co-hosted an Italian TV show with Teo Mammucari.
• Her breakthrough came in 2014 with a role in American Horror Story: Freak Show, playing “Ma Petite,” earning her recognition at the Russian International Horror Film Awards.

Facts

Jyoti’s journey began with the “World’s Smallest Teenager” title in 2009. Her growth ceased after her second birthday due to achondroplasia. This condition, a genetic disorder affecting hormone production, means her height and weight remain consistent with her size at age five. Despite the challenges, Jyoti has adapted remarkably.

She has a specially designed living space, complete with custom furniture and other necessities, making everyday activities manageable and comfortable. Her travels have taken her around the world, meeting other Guinness World Record holders and being interviewed by major news outlets. She has met such record holders as the Tallest Man and the Tallest Woman.

In 2019, while Jyoti was in the USA, her Nagpur home was unfortunately burglarized. Despite this setback, Jyoti remains a resilient and inspirational figure, celebrated for her achievements and unwavering spirit.
