At just over two feet, Nagpur resident Jyoti Amge is a record holder for the world’s shortest woman. It is primarily this claim that brought Amge on to the radar of TV show producers from American Horror Story. A resident of Nagpur, Amge is the only Indian talent to feature in the fourth season, which is titled Freak Show.
The widely popular American TV series, with three previously successful seasons, airs on FX channel, in India. “I came to New York in September 2013 for the book launch of the Guinness World Records 2014 edition and the show producers contacted me,” says an exuberant Amge, over phone from New Orleans.
Amge is Mom Petite on the show, a role that mirrors her real-life quality of being the shortest woman in the world. “I don’t have a scary character on the show. I have a few dialogues in English, but mostly I am in this show for my looks, and being the shortest woman,” says Amge. The 20-year-old has done road shows globally because of her height and this is her first appearance for an international TV show as an actor.
Amge had never heard of American Horror Story until she arrived on the scene. She acknowledges getting scared at times. “I feel scared watching it but I like scaring people more. When we go for late night shoots in the forests of New Orleans, I scare the other cast,” says Amge. With a steady flow of offers from Hollywood, Amge is contemplating her next move.
