World's shortest woman


Jyoti Amge wipes her tears after getting the title of the Shortest Woman of the World, in Nagpur, on Friday, December 16, 2011.
She wants to be Bollywood star.
'I want to be an actor,' she said. Jyoti measured 7 centimeters (2.76 inches) shorter than the 22-year-old American Bridgette Jordan, who had held the title since September. 'Jyoti encourages us all to look beyond mere size and to just celebrate our differences,' Guinness adjudicator Rob Molloy said.
