He has a height of two feet and six inches, and people call him actor. Jokes Apart! Meet Ajay Kumar who has been officially recognised as the world's smallest actor.

Kumar aka Unda pakru who is a native of Kerela has made into the Guinness Book of World Records. And so far as his career in movie industry in concern, it, however, doesn't seem as small as his height. The actor has already been in the industry for 13 years now, and has already acted in 50 films. "There's no point complaining about being a dwarf. I am small in size but I have got the talent and can work like a normal man," The Telegraph quoted Ajay, as saying.

The tiny actor has not only earned fame and a small fortune through his acting, but is even considered as an eligible bachelor by families seeking a good husband for their daughters. In 2005, when he married Gayatri, five feet one inch, who is more than twice her husband's height, the ceremony was broadcasted on local television across India's southwestern states.

"We had a traditional arranged marriage. My mother was looking for a match for me when our neighbour said she had a relative with an educated and beautiful daughter," says the man, standing cockily two feet six inch above the ground. "My mother arranged the meeting and I liked her, so we got engaged. My five-month-old daughter is a normal size like her mother, so I am very happy". He concludes: “There are hundreds of dwarves like me but they don't all succeed. It's about mind, not just the body."
