World's Shortest Man & Woman Meet For The First Time In History

It was always going to be a big event even though it involved two very small people. Chandra Bahadur Dangi, the worlds shortest man and Jyoti Amge, the worlds 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 worlds smallest man and woman have met in recorded history.

The book placed between them looks gigantic compared to the pair, but is in fact only 1ft high.
