They met and Ms. Gelgi related her elation:”It was so thrilling when I first met Jyoti. We might be different in height which was the reason why it was not that easy to maintain eye contact, but we clicked with each other and shared many interests such as makeup and self-care routines.”
Ms. Amge responded to her with her appreciation, “I have been used to viewing people taller than me from the bottom and looking up to Rumeysa was such a great feeling. She is a very good-hearted woman and I am very comfortable with her.”

Extraordinary Lives
Both characters have been seen as Guinness World Record icons since the 70th-anniversary edition of the Guinness World Records book.
