Jyoti: The tiniest girl in the world
 

At 1 foot, 11 inches, Jyoti is dubbed as the world’s tiniest girl. And she only weighs  5.25 kgs.

She was born on December 16, 1993 in India. She is turning 17 this year, but she still looks smaller than her neighbor’s baby. The teenager suffers from achondroplasia which is a form of dwarfism.

Although she looks so much different from other normal people, Jyoti appears to be not so bothered with her unique condition.

In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, she said, “I am proud of being small. I love the attention I get. I’m just the same as other people. I eat like you, dream like you. I don’t feel any different.”

Jyoti lives in Nagpur, India and is in high school. She has a miniature desk, made especially for her.

Kishanji Amge, her father, 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.”
