How did Jyoti Amge Gain Fame
Amge gained stateside fame when starring as Ma Petite in American Horror Story: Freak Show. Her love of film and wanting to become an actress began when she started watching a lot of television and movies, and she dreamed that she might be able to act one day.

Is The Shortest Woman Married?
The mere fact of saying the world shortest woman is married is absurd and funny; it will make you feel concerned about their activities in the ‘other room’ and you wouldn’t be able to hold back words.
Back in 2017, a then 23-year-old Jyoti filed a complaint against a man who started circulating photos of his reported marriage with her.
“For two-three days, some pictures have been circulated on social media about the alleged marriage of my sister to a person of Indian origin in the U.S,” Jyoti’s sister Archana said, according to The Hindu. “We don’t even know his name. He is misusing those pictures. We want to clarify that Jyoti is unmarried.”
While the world shortest woman may not be interested in dating, she does love to spend time with her family and enjoys her freedom, adding that she wants to live her life her own way. And even if a special someone came her way, Amge would “make them a very close friend,” not wanting anything beyond that.
“I prefer my freedom,” she explained, adding that she doesn’t think about marriage or having her own family.
As for her special, Amge says, “I’m very excited for the show to come out. I am happy that people are going to get to hear my story and learn more about me, and that makes me really happy and excited.”
