- She is 6.2 cm shorter than the former world's Shortest woman, 22-year old American Bridgette Jordan who stands at 69cm (2 ft 3 in). But despite her tiny stature, Jyoti is not the shortest woman in history. This title continues to be held by Pauline Musters (Netherlands, 1876-1895) who measured just 61cm (24in).
- Has attended regular school since she was 4 and, other than a small desk and chair, she is treated like any other.
- Due to her size, all of Jyoti's clothes and jewelry are custom made. Even plates and utensils are specially made, as normal-sized silverware is too big.
- Has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and will not grow any taller than her current height. She weighs 11lb (5 kg).
- Youngest of five siblings.
