The Great Khali, the biggest Indian name in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment, recently met the world’s shortest woman Jyoti Amge, who is from Maharashtra and stands at just 62.8cm.

The wrestler, whose real name is Dalip Singh Rana, shared a video on his social media platform showing him lifting Ms Amge by one hand with ease, reported NDTV.

The video highlighted the stark difference in the duo’s height and body size, as the shortest woman in the world was seen smiling and giggling.

The clip soon went viral, amassing 92 million views and over two million likes. It also attracted several comments.

Said one user: “As seen clearly, she’s voluntarily enjoying it. It’s a video made for fun between the largest and the smallest Indian. There’s no breach of consent.”

Ms Amge, who hails from Nagpur, has travelled to many countries since being given her world record.

She stands shorter than an average two-year-old child due to a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.

Ms Amge was featured in the 2009 documentary titled Body Shock: Two Foot Tall Teen. She was also a guest participant on Bigg Boss 6. In 2014, she was cast in the fourth season of American Horror Story: Freak Show as the character Ma Petite.
