In the central part of India there is a large city of Nagpur.
A resident of this village is an unusual woman - Jyoti Amji.
In 2011, the girl was declared the shortest woman on the planet.
At that moment, the Indian woman’s height was… less than 63 centimeters.
Feature of the record
The record was set on December 16, 1993.
It was on that day that Amji celebrated her coming of age.
On an important day for the Indian woman, her height was measured. The reading was 62.8 centimeters.
And the girl weighed only... 5.2 kilograms.
As a result, the Guinness Book of Records included a mention of Jyoti Amge as the shortest woman in the world.
It is emphasized that the reason for the Indian woman's short stature is that she has a hereditary disease - achondroplasia.
Jyoti Amge is currently 30 years old. She is a model and actress. Her filmography includes participation in a short film, a documentary, a TV show, and also in an American series.
