Tea party between the tallest and shortest women in the world

Two women who hold the Guinness World Record for height came together for afternoon tea in the UK to share their stories.

CNN reported on November 21 that Rumeysa Gelgi (27 years old, 2.15 m tall) and Jyoti Amge (31 years old, nearly 63 cm tall) attended afternoon tea at the Savoy Hotel in London (UK) to celebrate the Guinness World Records anniversary.

Despite their height difference of more than 1.5m, the two are said to be very compatible. “We have a lot in common. We both love makeup, personal care, jewelry and nails. Sometimes we have trouble making eye contact because of the height difference, but it is still a great experience,” said Ms. Gelgi.

Meanwhile, Ms. Amge said she was very happy to meet someone who also holds a Guinness record, even though it was somewhat "opposite".

Ms. Gelgi, a website programmer in Türkiye, was confirmed as the world's tallest woman in 2021. According to Guinness World Records (GWR), her height stems from a rare condition called Weaver syndrome, with 27 people worldwide known to have it.

Ms. Gelgi also holds the record for the woman with the largest hands (nearly 25 cm long), the longest back (nearly 60 cm) and the longest ears (9.5 cm).

Meanwhile, Ms. Amge is an actress from India. She has a growth disorder that affects the development of the limbs. The condition occurs in the early stages of fetal development and affects the cartilage tissue - the tissue that will develop into the child's arms and legs.

Amge's image is famous on social networks, and she has also appeared in American television series and Italian TV shows.

Two women look at the Guinness World Records 2025 book

GWR editor-in-chief Craig Glenday met the two women for afternoon tea in London on November 20 and said the meeting was about celebrating their differences. “By bringing them together, they can share their perspectives on life with each other and with us,” Mr. Glenday said.

Gelgi and Amge are also named in GWR ICONS, a new category added to the Guinness World Records 2025 book, which GWR says will include record holders who "have made history".
