Look at that smile! biggrin

 

Her tiny form is disarming. But Jyoti Amge's dreams are as big as those of her friends.

At 15 she stands just 1ft 11½in tall and weighs less than a stone, giving her one very big claim to fame - as the smallest girl in the world.

 

Doctors believe Jyoti is a pituitary dwarf but have never been able to pinpoint her condition.

 

Such dwarfism is caused when the body fails to produce enough growth hormone.

 

Specialists have told her she will remain the same size for the rest of her life.

 

'When I was three I realised that I was different to the rest of the kids,' she said.

 

'I thought that everyone was bigger and I should get bigger too.'

 

Jyoti has her own mini grey uniform and school bag and even a tiny desk. But she looks like a doll next to her teenage classmates.

 

She said: 'I am proud of being the smallest girl. I love all the attention I get. I'm not scared of being small, and I don't regret being small.

Wants to be a celeb it seems

 

Quote:
For the most part, people with this form of dwarfism have normal intelligence and lifespan – and this very ambitious teenager intends to take full advantage of all her talents.

 

"I would like to work in a big city like Mumbai, act in films and travel to London and America," she said.

 

She has even recently recorded an album with her favorite Indian pop star, Mike Singh, according to the report.

I'm being serious though, its great that she has dreams and she isn't letting her disability get her down, but realistically there is very little need (no pun intended) for incredibly small people in Hollywood movies
