Chandra Bahadur Dangi, the world’s shortest
man and Jyoti Amge, the world’s shortest woman
met for the first time to celebrate the
organisation which made them famous.
The 18-year-old from India and the 72-year-old
Nepalese both made headlines last winter when
they were given their titles by the Guinness World
Records.
Chandra and Jyoti may be generations apart but
were joking and laughing as they posed for
photos with the new book, both dressed in
traditional outfits from their native countries.
The photoshoot for the release of the book gave
them another record to add to their list – it is the
first time the world’s smallest man and woman
have met in recorded history
The official authority on record-breaking
achievements is set to release its 57th edition of
the world’s best-selling copyright book, Guinness
World Records 2013.
The book has sold 120 million copies to date and
Guinness World Records receives more than
1,000 applications each week and has a
specialized team of multi-language record
managers and adjudicators who travel the globe
to verify official record attempts.
