Last week, Jyoti Amge, the world’s shortest woman at 2’1″, appeared on This Morning Show in the U.K. to celebrate the 20th annual World Record Day. Jyoti has held the record since 2011, when she turned 18, and she says it has always been a dream come true.

In her interview with Cat Deely and Dermot O’Leary, Jyoti candidly discussed her challenges and accomplishments. Her translator, Amol Pangul, shared that “the best part of her life was being the Guinness World Record holder, which gave her confidence.”

Because of the Guinness record, she grew her acting career, starring in the fourth season of American Horror Story: Freak Show, where she appeared as Ma Petite.

Despite her many accomplishments, Jyoti still faces everyday struggles, such as needing help from friends or family whenever she leaves the house and navigating the challenge of dressing like an adult while only fitting into toddler sizes.
