Everything you want to know about the TALLEST and SHORTEST women in the world

Meet Rumeysa Gelgi and Jyoti Amge, respectively the world’s TALLEST and SHORTEST women!

Rumeysa is from Türkiye while Jyoti is from India and, after years of wanting to meet, they finally flew to London, England, to spend a few days together and bond over some serious girl talk. 😌

So how tall are they?

Well, tallest woman living Rumeysa stands at 215.16 cm (7 ft 0.7 in), while Jyoti, who has been the shortest woman living (mobile) for over 10 years, is 62.8 cm (2 ft 0.7 in) tall…

So obviously their height difference is huge – roughly equivalent to the average height of a 12-year-old girl. 🤯

Based on their heights alone, one might think that the 2 women have nothing in common, but in reality, they like a lot of the same stuff! 

Let’s get to know them better and see if maybe you share any hobbies or interests with them…

They both love self-care

Rumeysa and Jyoti speak different languages, but that didn’t stop them from sharing their life experiences and common passions with each other.

“I knew Jyoti and I shared similar interests, so I felt we would easily find common ground,” Rumeysa told us.

And their biggest common hobby? Self-care! 💆‍♀️

After a long day, Rumeysa likes to wind down by taking good care of her skin with various creams and treatments.

“I always make sure to remove my makeup before going to bed, no matter how tired I am,” she added.

Jyoti, on the other hand, has a passion for… nail art! 💅

“I love doing my nails,” she told us.

She also loves to shop for new outfits, explore new places and playing board games.

Both Rumeysa and Jyoti love playing around with makeup, but they don’t feel that they should wear it all the time as they also like to show off their natural beauty. 👄

Shopping as the shortest and tallest women in the world

Jyoti said: “Fashion is all about having fun with your style.”

And we couldn’t agree more!

The actress wants her fans to embrace their unique beauty, and wows them with her cool style and accessories.

She told us: "I like wearing crop tops, gowns and sometimes traditional attires, but I love wearing Western clothes more!" 

Of course, with their record-breaking heights, finding clothes that fit can be hard for both women…

Jyoti often designs her own clothes or buys from kids’ shops.

"I’ve even worn doll’s clothes," she added. 🪆

Life with a record-breaking height

According to Ranjana, Jyoti's mother, her daughter was an average-sized kid until the age of 5… then she just stopped growing. 😮

However, Jyoti never stopped dreaming big: she attended school like every child her age, even though she required a custom-made desk and chair, and pursued her dreams of becoming an actress.

In fact, she is now a Hollywood star who played the role of Ma Petite in American Horror Story: Freak Show and holds the record of shortest actress ever. 😎

Rumeysa also holds multiple records: she has the largest hands on a woman, the longest back on a living woman and the longest ears on a woman.

She was home-schooled and now works as a web designer. 🧑‍💻

Such powerful women with exciting careers!
