Jyoti Amge, the world’s shortest woman from India & Chandra Bahadur Dangi, the world’s shortest man met for the first time to celebrate the organization which made them famous.
The 18-year-old from India and the 72-year-old Nepalese both made headlines last winter when they were given their titles by the Guinness World Records.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi and Jyoti Amge were born 54 years and hundreds of miles apart in different countries, but it was their height that brought them together. Dangi, the world’s shortest male, and Amge, the world’s shortest female, met for the first time earlier this year with a little help from Guinness World Records.
Jytoi Amge is 18 years old & 2 ft in height & Chandra Bahadur Dangi is 72 years old & 1 ft 11.6 inch in height. They are smiling next to a man of normal height.
Jyoti Amge
Jyoti Amge, who lives in Nagpur, India, was named the shortest living woman at 24.7 inches on Dec. 16, 2011, just after turning 18. The young woman’s stature seems to have had no effect on the size of her dreams; she has said she hopes to become a successful Bollywood actress.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi
Chandra Bahadur Dangi, 72, stands at 21.5 inches tall and was crowned the shortest man in Guinness’ 57-year history in February. Prior to the announcement, the record-holder had never ventured far from his remote village of Rhimkholi, Nepal.
