The world’s tallest woman and the world’s shortest woman have met for afternoon tea in London to celebrate Guinness World Records Day, CNN writes.
Rumeysa Gelgi, who stands 215.16 centimeters (7 feet 0.7 inches) tall, and Jyoti Amge, who measures just 62.8 centimeters (2 feet 0.7 inches), met at the Savoy Hotel, according to a statement from Guinness World Records (GWR) on Wednesday.
The height difference between the two women might be a massive 152.36 centimeters (5 feet), but the pair reportedly got on famously.

“We do have things in common. We both love make-up, self-care, jewellery and doing our nails,” said Gelgi in the statement.
“It was difficult for us to make eye contact at times due to our height difference, but it was great,” she added.
Amge added that she was “so happy” to meet her fellow record holder.
Gelgi, a web designer from Turkey, was confirmed as the tallest woman living in 2021.
Her height is due to an extremely rare condition called Weaver syndrome. She was only the 27th person in the world to be diagnosed with the syndrome, according to GWR.
Amge, an actress and media personality born in India, has a bone growth disorder named achondroplasia that affects the arms and legs.
The disorder occurs early in a foetus’ development in the womb and affects the cartilage tissue that should become a child’s arms and legs.
