- Story Text: Jyoti Amge, world's smallest girl in India's western Maharashtra, has dreams of becoming Bollywood actress one day.
A resident of western Nagpur, Jyoti is world's smallest girl according to the Limca Book of Records.
At 16 years old, she measures in at a height of just twenty-three inches and weighs around five kilos.
"I want to become an actress. That's my wish. Whatever I have wished so far, I have got that. Like I wanted my name to be registered in Guinness book of world record and it was done. I am so happy my wishes are fulfilled," avers Jyoti happily.
Jyoti was born with a form of Dwarfism called Achondroplasia that barred her from growing normally. She will not grow any taller than her current height.
"She used to weigh this much only before. Her height is not growing and it will not grow more. We waited until she attained the age of 3 years after that we consulted lot of doctors for her treatment," explained Jyoti's father, Kishan Amge.
At the time of her birth, she weighed barely 3 pounds.
Jyoti attends school with students of her age. Like other teenagers, she enjoys fashionable clothes, wearing make up and jewellery. She is determined to make her mark in the Hindi film Industry. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
