In the recent Navarathri she did ‘Upavas’ for nine days.

No one teases me in the school. I am an average student and want to become an actress is my goal says Jyothi speaking to a few journalists at Green House Raj Milan on Wednesday evening. My shortest build has given good name to my school and I have a ‘Chota desk’ in the school to sit. I get extra hours to write the examination. ‘Choti ho to kya Bada Naam agaya’ I am happy with it. I eat a little food twice a day – chaval, roti, cham cham sweet are my favorites says Jyothi who wrote her name in Hindi and English in the note pad of this journalist.

Jyothi’s elder sisters in the family are Vaishali, Archana and Roopali. She has a brother Satish. Jyothi’s father runs a truck business. God gives big to somebody and small to some body! Giving a small child looking daughter at the age of 16 he has given big name to my family says Jyothi’s father Kishan Amge.
