Sultan Kosen, who holds the title of the tallest living man as recognized by the Guinness World Records, can reach a basketball hoop without jumping, a testament to his incredible height. He surpassed the previous record holder, Xi Shun of China, in 2009, becoming a global sensation. Kosen also holds the record for the largest hands, with his hand span measuring 11.2 inches from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. His extraordinary height is due to pituitary gigantism, a condition that prevented him from pursuing a conventional education and career. However, his life transformed after being officially acknowledged as the tallest man in the world, leading to significant opportunities, including life-saving surgery to halt his growth. Kosen now serves as a cultural ambassador for Türkiye, having visited over 127 countries.

Jyoti Amge, on the other hand, hails from Nagpur, Maharashtra, and stands at just 62.8 centimeters tall due to achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism. Despite her small stature, Amge has made significant appearances on international platforms, including the reality TV show Big Boss and the fourth season of ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’. Her unique condition has not only earned her a world record but also the opportunity to travel and share her story worldwide.
