Rumeysa Gelgi, 27, holder of the “world’s tallest woman” record, met Indian actress Jyoti Amge, 30, known as the “world’s shortest woman”.
The two met for afternoon tea and exchanged life stories and experiences during their meeting at the Savoy Hotel in London, to celebrate the 20th Annual Guinness World Records Day.
Gelgi holds the Guinness world record as the tallest woman in the world, standing at 215.16 cm, while Amge is the shortest woman, standing at just 62.8 cm. “It was amazing to meet Jyoti for the first time,” said the Turkish woman.
“It was hard for us to make eye contact at times due to our height difference, but it was great. We have things in common: we both love makeup, self-care, and doing our nails.”
“I’m used to looking up and seeing people taller than me, but today it was great to look up and see the tallest woman in the world. I’m happy to have met Rumeysa, she’s so funny, and I felt very comfortable talking to her,” added Amge.
