Shortest person on earth breaks another world record in having smallest hands on a lady

Indian lady, Jyoti Amge who recently tuned 31, making her a merry Sagittarius, has been holding the world record of being the shortest woman on the globe.

Standing upright at 62.8 centimeters, Amge is the tiniest lady on the universe. She is also the shortest living person in the world.

However, as Jyoti ​was blowing candles ​on the special cake to celebrate an addition year to her three decades of life in December 2024, she somehow also managed to break another world record.

Guinness World Records report that as Jyoti Amge cut the complimentary birthday cake, they discovered that the knife looked gigantic in her hands.

It was like, “…Hey, let us measure the hands and palms as well!”

“Speaking of her tiny hands, we also whipped out the measuring tape while she was in London to officially verify them if they were the smallest hands on a person,” Guinness World Records report.

It was then discovered that Jyoti’s left-hand measures 7.1 centimeters while her right-hand measures​ around 7.2 centimeters.

​The Indian lady’s hands are almost half the height of a Coca-Cola can (12.2 cm) and smaller than the diameter of a baseball (7.4 cm).

Which means, things like a standard iPhone handset or a mug, may look gigantic in Jyoti’s hands.

But according to the Guinness Book of World Records, Jyoti’s hands are actually bigger than those belonging to Afshin Ghaderzadeh, a resident of Iran.

Afshin ​holds the record of being the shortest man​ in the world today.

​The Iranian happens to be slightly taller than Jyoti at 65.24 centimeters high.

But on the other hand, Afshin’s left hand measures 6.7 centimeters, while his right hand stretches 6.4 centimeters, thus making them the smallest paws under the sky, yet.
