She is the world's shortest woman.
Born on 16 December 1993 in Nagpur, India, Jyoti was an average-sized child until the age of 5.

Then she didn’t grow much more. Ever.

Jyoti has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, and will never grow beyond a certain height.

From the age of four, Jyoti attended school alongside all the other children her age, although she needed to use a desk and chair that was more her size.

Back in 2009, she was found to be the shortest living teenager (female) after doctors measured her to be 61.95 cm (2 ft) tall. And at just 5.4 kg (12 lb), she weighed only 4 kg (9 lb) more than when she was born!
