Twenty-one-year-old Jyoti Amge, the smallest woman in the world, laughs easily and often. Perhaps,
from a height of twenty-three inches, the world does look a bit funny.
Afflicted with achondroplasia, a form of pituitary dwarfism, 21-year-old Amge is a bit shorter than her
two-year-old nephew and a lad taller than her framed Guinness certificate. In fact, Amge, the youngest of
five, wasn’t even visible in her mother’s womb. The doctors thought she wasn’t alive and her mother
Ranjana, who underwent a two-hour caesarian operation in her tenth month to birth her, welcomed her
youngest as a blessing. In all of Amge’s birthday pictures in the album, her height is the same from age
three to twenty-one. Kitted out in custom made frocks and bright red lipstick; with fancy beads lining her permed hair, the tiny Amge turned heads in Nagpur and became a hit with Hindi news channel “I
have always wanted to be an actor,” says Amge. Amge was quick to say yes when the producers of
‘American Horror Story’ Freak Show contacted her. “They had seen my interview in a New York daily,”
says Amge, who readily agreed to play the role of Ma Petite, the miniature sari- and-bindi-clad assistant
of a woman.
“In spite of the name the show was not about freaks it was about compassion,” says Amge. “What makes
the world so interesting in that we are different and some folks a little bit odd,” she said. Sadly, Amge’s
own home country does not seem to respect differences. Amge’s brother complained that unlike the West
where “people ask permission before clicking a photo,” Indians take her privacy for granted. People look
at her like she’s a wonder, an ajooba and try to get too close to her. I have to shelter her like a body guard,
adds Satish.
Amge’s family members now make up her entourage. They help Amge, who suffered an accident in
Kashmir that severely fractured her left leg, with everything from braiding her hair to carrying her to the
washbasin. Be it the nearby mall or a trip to China, one or more of them always accompany her.
