This is not the first record she has held she was the world's shortest teenager
But there have been shorter women in history. Jyoti is just half an inch taller than Pauline Musters who previously held the record
She says being a record-holder has had its benefits
"I like it very much. Being in the Guinness Book of World Records I get to visit different places like London, Italy, New York and everywhere.
Nineteen-year-old Jyoti was born with a dwarfism called achondroplasia and is not expected to grow anymore.
She weighs just five kilograms and is smaller than a New York fire hydrant but her aspirations are much bigger.
She wants to go into Bollywood movies but hasn't had too many offers, so she is heading to Hollywood.
