Default Tiny teenager from India is smallest girl in the world
A teenager from India who stands at a tiny 1ft 11in (58cm) tall is the smallest girl in the world.


Jyoti Amge, 14, is shorter than the average two-year-old child and only weighs 11lb (5kg). Scroll down for more...
Jyoti is smaller than the average two-year-old child



She has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and won't grow any taller than her current height.
Due to her size, Jyoti has to have clothes and jewellery made for her. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and cutlery to eat, as normal-sized utensils are too big.
Despite this, she goes to a regular school in Nagpur, central India, where she has her own small desk and chair, and her classmates treat her like any other student. Scroll down for more...

Jyoti also shares common interests with other teenagers, with a love for DVDs and fashionable dresses.
She said: 'I am proud of being small. I love all the attention I get. I'm not scared of being small and I don't regret it.
'I'm just the same as other people. I eat like you, dream like you. I don't feel any different.'
Jyoti is treated like a mini-celebrity in her home town, where people flock to meet her and some even treat her like a goddess.
She will even be releasing an album with her favourite Indian pop star, the bhangra/rap star Mika Singh. Scroll down for more...
Jyoti lines up with her classmates



Her mum, Ranjana Amge, 45, said: 'When Jyoti was born, she seemed quite normal. We came to know about her disorder when she was five.
'We consulted a specialist and he said she will be this size all of her life. Jyoti is small, yet cute, and we love her very much.'
Jyoti is ambitious and hopes to work as a Bollywood actress one day.
She said: 'I would love to work in a big city like Mumbai, act in films and travel to London and America. Scroll down for more...
Jyoti chats to her friends on her phone, just like any other teenager



'I'm proud of being small. I love all the attention I get because of it.'
Her dad, Kishanji Amge, 52, said: 'I can't separate myself from her even for a single day. I love her very much. 'She makes me proud. Lots of gurus come to see and bless her. They pray for her happiness and long life.'

I wonder if there are any other medical issues she deals with... It doesn't say so it seems that she's just an itty bitty healthy teen.

She'd be great in bollywood.

I find this sort of sad as she'll never be able to have a real life.

^She'll just have to have her own life. Besides, she probably believes in reincarnation and will have a "real life" the next go around.
