Many would consider 22-year-old Jyoti Amges short height (two and a half feet) to be her limitation but this ?limitation? only has earned her a celebrity status. A friendly and cheerful Jyoti is happily enjoying the distinction of being the world’s shortest living woman (as per the Guinness Book of World Records) as she stands tall today with her mammoth aspirations. Jyoti, who doesn’t take her short height as an impediment, aspires to make it big in Bollywood. In a relaxed interview with Nation Next, Jyoti Amge talks about her future plans and how does it feel to be the world’s shortest living woman.

How does it feel to be the world’s shortest living woman?

Lifes good! I’m pursuing Bachelor of Arts from VMV College, Nagpur. I was a part of a music video by Mika Singh long time back. Then I featured as a guest in Bigg Boss 6 in 2012, after which I also participated in the fourth season of the American Horror Story? that was shot in Argentina, Japan, Romania, Turkey and Brazil in 2014-2015. I love acting and I want to pursue a career in Bollywood.

Did you ever think that you would be so popular someday?

No, I never thought that I would be so famous. But I would always desire to be on TV someday, whenever I watched TV. Now, it feels great when my relatives call me and tell me that they saw me on TV. It’s great to be famous! When I go out and people see me, they go crazy and come rushing to click pictures with me.

Please tell us about family.

My family consists of my parents, three sisters and a brother. Two of my sisters got married recently. I am the smallest in my family and shortest in the world!

How do you grapple with the inconvenience of carrying out the daily chores

There are few things I can’t do. I like hanging out a lot but my sister or my brother has to always accompany me. Earlier, I used to think that I would not be able to do things independently but I have a lot of support from my family and they never let me feel weak.

How was your experience in Bigg Boss 6 and in Freak show – the fourth season of American Horror Story?

American Horror Story was a very big platform for me. I enjoyed a lot being on the show and all the actors in the show were very nice to me. It was a new experience and I got to see the functioning of a TV show in the US. In Bigg Boss 6, Aashka Goradia, Imam Siddiquie, Santosh Shukla and others were nice to me. In fact, Aashka has become a good friend of mine. We met twice in Shirdi after the show. She is very caring.

In the American Horror Story, you worked with the World’s tallest professional model Amazon Eve. How was your experience with her?

She was very nice and took care of me there. We enjoyed a lot together, and now we are very close friends.

You love fashion. Whats your fashion mantra and who’s your favorite fashion designer?

Yes, I love fashion. I spend a lot of time on my makeup also. I don’t have any favourite fashion designer but I am searching for somebody who can design something that befits my size. It’s very difficult to get clothes of my size.

Congress leader Prakash Rathod, on Friday, was caught on camera while allegedly scrolling through few adult content clips in the State Assembly. This turned out to be a huge embarrassment for both, Congress and Rathod as regional channels aired the video, in which he was ?caught in the act.
The MLC member was present in the house during the proceedings of the legislative council. While the house was in session, Rathod was watching adult content on his smartphone.
However, he threw these charges under the bus and said, I was looking for materials for a question I wanted to ask the government in question hour.
?When I was looking for question material, I deleted too many messages as my phone storage was full. What the media has shown or seen, I don’t know. I would never do such things or see such things, he added.
This was not the first time in Karnataka that such an incident had happened. Back in 2012, three Bharatiya Janata Party ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching adult content in the State Assembly. Following the scandal, they resigned from the state government due to public embarrassment.
