In a historic and heartwarming encounter, the world's smallest woman, Jyoti Amge from India, met the world's tallest woman, Rumeysa Gelgi from Turkey, for the first time ever. This extraordinary meeting was facilitated by The Guinness World Records and has been making waves on social media.

Jyoti Amge, who stands at just 62.8 cm (24.7 in) tall, holds the record for being the shortest living woman. On the other hand, Rumeysa Gelgi, who stands at an incredible 251 cm (8 ft 2.8 in) tall, holds the record for being the tallest living woman.

Rumeysa Gelgi is a passionate advocate, public speaker, and activist who has made a name for herself by breaking records for her exceptional height. In 2021, she was recognized as the tallest living woman, and previously held the title of the tallest living teenager. Rumeysa has overcome numerous challenges throughout her life, including a diagnosis of Weaver Syndrome as an infant. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries and physiotherapy, Rumeysa has persevered with the unwavering support of her family, inspiring others with her resilience and determination.

The encounter was captured on video and has been widely shared on social media platforms, with many users expressing their delight and admiration for the two women.

Jyoti Amge is from Nagpur, India, who has gained international recognition despite being born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism that has limited her growth. Initially, Jyoti's height was average until she turned five, after which she was diagnosed with the condition.
