In celebration of Guinness World Records Day, the world's tallest and shortest women met for the first time over afternoon tea at London's Savoy Hotel.
Jyoti Amge is 2 feet 0.7 inches tall while Rumeysa Gelgi is 7 feet 0.7 inches. Gelgi, 27, lives in Türkiye.
According to Guinness World Records, "Rumeysa's impressive height is due to a condition called Weaver syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition that causes bone overgrowth following a mutation of the EZH2 gene."
Amge, 30, hails from Nagpur, India. Her short stature results from achondroplasia, a genetic disorder characterized by abnormal cartilage formation, leading to disproportionately shortened limbs and an average-sized torso.
They reportedly hit it off and chatted about their shared hobbies from self-care to fashion. It looked like a delightful afternoon.
"It was difficult for us to make eye contact at times due to our height difference, but it was great," Gelgi said.
