World’s tallest and shortest women meet each other for afternoon tea

Rumeysa Gelgi, who stands at a towering 7 feet, and Jyoti Amge, who just scrapes 24 inches in height, which is about 2 feet, came together for tea time at London’s Savoy Hotel as part of a Guinness World Records event, The New York Post reports.

Despite their enormous difference in height, the two anomalous ladies got along together like peas and carrots — bonding over the life challenges they face because of their unique sizes.

World’s tallest and shortest women Rumeysa Gelgi and Jyoti Amge meet.

They drink tea together at Savoy Hotel in London.

Photos provided by Guinness World Records show off the massive size discrepancy between the two.

“It was so amazing meeting Jyoti for the first time,” Gelgi said, according to a Guinness World Records press release.

“It was difficult for us to make eye contact at times due to our height difference, but it was great.”

“We do have things in common; we both love makeup, self-care, and doing our nails,” added Gelgi, who hails from Turkey.

Amge, of India, also felt a warm connection with her counterpart.

“I’m used to looking up and seeing people taller than me but I was so happy to look up today and see the world’s tallest woman,” Jyoti said, according to the release.

Rumeysa’s hands almost entirely eclipse the torso of her new-found friend Amge.

“I’m delighted that I’ve met Rumeysa, she is so good-natured, and I felt very comfortable talking to her,” Amge concluded.

Gelgi, who works as a web designer, has a condition called Weaver syndrome that causes accelerated growth and skeletal deformities.

Due to her condition, she can only stand up with the assistance of a walker.

Amge, who is an actress once featured in “American Horror Story,” has no genetic abnormalities.

Guinness World Records organised the meeting to commemorate Guinness World Records Day 2024.
