Worlds Smallest Girl Jyoti Amge
At merely 1 foot 11 inches (57.5 centimeters) tall and fully grown at the age of 15, Jyoti Amge of Nagpur, India, is smaller than the average 2-year old and the Worlds Smallest Girl according to the Indian Book of Records. Born December 16 1993, this remarkable girl weighs only 11 pounds (5 kilos), a result of Achondroplasia — the most common form of dwarfism — and will never grow any taller.

Jyoti is too small to use a normal sized knife and fork, so she eats off special plates, sleeps in a tiny, custom-built bed, and has to have her clothes and jewelry custom-made for her.
Even bathing is done on a miniature scale, requiring specially-made steps to help her get into the tub and a small bucket and jug to wash herself.

This extraordinary little girl actually goes to a regular school at Bhartiya Vidya Niketan in Nagpur, where her fellow classmates of her own age treat her as one of themselves as she sits at her custom built miniature desk and chair.

Jyoti is far from unhappy about her size and enjoys the celebrity status her height has brought her. “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.” she says.
Her size comes with benefits — Jyoti is a mini-celebrity in her home city, where people flock to see her, and some even treat her as a goddess. She has even recorded an album with her favorite Indian pop star, the bhangra / rap singer Mika Singh.
Little Jyoti has tall ambitions to one day break into Bollywood as an actress. “I would love to work in a big city like Mumbai, act in films and travel to London and America.” she said.

“I can’t separate myself from her even for a single day. I love her very much. She makes me proud.” says her 52-year old father Kishanji. “Lots of gurus come to see and bless her. They pray for her happiness and long life.”
“When Jyoti was born, she seemed quite normal. We came to know about her disorder when she was 5. We consulted a specialist and he said she will be this size all of her life.” her mother Ranjana adds.
“Jyoti is small, yet cute, and we love her very much.”

I admire her self-confidence despite of her being “dwarf”, still she can do thins like other normal teenagers can do. I’m sure she’s happy because she has a family that loves and supports her.
That’s amazing ! She doesn’t even look like a dwarf, she just looks like a miniature Teenager !
wow!!! amazing guts and the will to hold her head high.
I agree Andrew, much of a person’s attitude in life is affected by the support and love of their family.
She’s quite adorable, isn’t she Gattina
Most definitely, Jesse
What an amazing story! Somebody so small, yet still able to live a normal & fulfilling life!
Yes, Jon, I think she’s a great inspiration
she is so cute and she is an inspiration to every one even tall people and i am a tall person .she is just normal like you and me but just a bit shorter.
I’m with you 100 percent, Maddy
Height is far from a factor to make judgments on anyone.
i’m so pround of her! she does a great job at taking what life gave her and making the best out of it. truly and inspiration to us all!
For someone so young, there are a lot that can learn from her incredible attitude, Jesse
i am 16 and a dwarf, suffering from the same illness in Canada i am 37 inches tall and i think thats bad what an inpiration, does anyone know how to contact her
‘
She’s an amazing inspiration, Aaron
I’m sorry, I tried doing some searches but was unable to find any contact information.
shes soo cute i wanna pick her up.. shes just like everyone else.. god made her beautiful!
She certainly is, Denise
I think it’s great that she doesn’t mind her condition or being physically different from the majority of the population. I don’t think that I could ever, in any situation, be as strong as she is.
For such a young girl, she’s got her stuff together a lot more than many adults, Sofia
estoy realmente sorprendida de estas fotos y me quede muda realmente es demasiado pequeña exageradamente diria yo pero es bonita
She is so adorable.
I luve uuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!
I think she is a remarkable young girl. A teenager has enough stress bestowed upon them by their lives and this little girl has that and more but she still manages to hold her head up high! I think she is amazing. She’s beautiful despite her height. I think she is gorgeous because of her height as well.
I admire this young girl and her courage. I was told, in 1991, that i had a “form of dwarfism”, though the doctor did not specify what type or what tests could offer me more information. I am of average height, at 5′4″, although my body is unusually small for my age and genetics. I want to learn more about dwarfism. This young girl proves that it is far from being an impairment.
Definitely far from an impairment, Cyndi, as Jyoti can attest to
Cyndi
how are you a dwarf and be 5′4?? im only 5 ft and im not a dwarf
she is so pretty and small my niece looks bigger than her but im proud of her for being strong and not letting her size hold her back

You are so adorable me and my freind are going to come and find you because you are so adorable we are only in 9th grade but in 4 years we will come and find you and meet you.:)
She looks like a little doll!
Her not regreting her small stature is pretty hard to fathom, it must make life difficult. Its an amazing attitude she has.
awwwww so cute!!..I just want to hug her!
How Gorgeouss
Wow, I think she is just absolutely stunning.
Her attitude has really changed my perspectives on things in my own life.
God bless her, she seems wonderful.

she is so adorable and wonderful. i’m 14 and i find her as an inpiration she’s just awesome!
They say amazing things come from small packages, and doesnt she just prove that,,
I wasn’t just struck by her size, but her beauty as well.
Wow. Just wow. It’s not often that you find a girl with that amount of courage. It’s not often that you find anyone with a smile so radiant, so full of life.
People may say that she’s barely a quarter the size of a normal human, but her heart, her spirit, is more than most people of “normal” size have altogether. Jyoti is such an inspiration. I hope that she will continue to live out her dreams in such a way that they exceed the smallness of her body.
I’ll pray for her, that she continues to live with the hope and the vitality displayed in these pictures!

its so cute,today i just saw you and heads up to u for ur great smile with shine on ur face
Regarding “World’s Smallest Girl” broadcast by National Geographic (NGS), the doctor is to blame for the parents’ decision to stop proper treatment for Jyoti. Yes, the parents are ignorant but, for God’s sake, there are topical and internal sedatives that could have been used prior to the blood draw that would have averted what looked like(and I’m sure felt like)ranchers branding cattle. I’ve seen enough blood draws to recognize that these medical people had no plan as to how they were going to conduct the procedure on such a unique subject. It’s a disgrace that ALL the adults involved (including NGS) failed the young girl and as a result she will be crippled for the rest of her life. It makes me angry.

I think Jyothi is a beautiful young lady. She has a spirit that is remarkable, for this reason she will continue to be blessed by the Gods.
I just finished watching the National Geographic special. She is a smart, courageous, beautiful young lady.wish her well. I believe there is a doctor in this world to assist her. I cringed when they hospital attempted to use that gigantic needle to take her blood which frightened her and her parents.There is a doctor in this world to assist Jyoti with proper medical supplies and care. There are defintely needles smaller than that.
she is the smallest and cutest little girl i ever seen
I just got through watching the national Geographic special about her and let me tell you I was crying when they were drawing blood from her. She was screaming and crying. That poor girl! Why didn’t those doctors give her something to numb the pain? I wouldn’t want to go through the surgery either. I hope she finds a good doctor that will help her and not cause her so much pain. she is a brave sweet girl and I hope she gets to become an actress. She is a goddess
how cute is she.I bet she has he head held high and ready to take charge.
i think she is so cute i wish i was old enough to date her
ps:im a primordial dwarf
does she have any trouble with school
She is so cute and pretty! I love the dresses that she wears. She is amazing
she is really cute!
