The teenager is already a celebrity(名人) in her hometown of Nagpur, India, but has now set a world record by officially being declared the world's smallest woman. Despite her stature, 62.8 cm­tall Jyoti hopes to celebrate being crowned the world's shortest woman by launching a Bollywood movie career. She took the Guinness world record from 22­year­old American Bridgette Jordan, who measures seven centimeters taller than Ms.Amge and who had held the title since September, 2011. A teary­eyed Ms.Amge called the honor an “extra birthday present” and said that she felt grateful for being small.She also blew out candles on a birthday cake that was comfortably bigger than her. Even the Guinness record book at the ceremony only came up to her waist. Ms.Amge weighs just 5.5 kilograms—only about four kilograms more than she did at birth—and has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia(软骨发育不全), which stopped her growing after her first birthday. She has brittle bones and is likely to need care for the rest of her life, but that has not stopped her ambitions of entering the movie industry. “I have put Nagpur on the world map. Now everyone will know where it is，” said Ms.Amge, who said she dreamed of one day becoming a Bollywood film star and getting a university degree after finishing high school. “I want to make people happy，” said the future actress, who is going to appear in two Bollywood films next year. As a teenager at school in Nagpur, Ms.Amge had her own small desk and chair, but said that the other students did not treat her differently. She sleeps in a specially­made bed and uses things that are smaller than average. Also, Ms.Amge insists on being treated like a normal young woman, and enjoys doing her make­up, going shopping with friends or watching movies. “It has been my dream to be recognized as the world's smallest woman for many years，” said Ms.Amge.“I am very happy to be officially the world's shortest woman.” 56．According to the passage, Jyoti Amge ________.
