DATA ROUNDUP ![\\"\\"](\\" the-world-Thumbnail-702x336.jpeg\\") English, Fake News # Rumeysa Gelgi is the tallest woman in the world, not the woman seen in this video 0 By Varun Borugadda on August 10, 2023 * A A A Twitter Facebook Reddit A video is being shared on social media with a claim that the woman featured in it is the tallest woman in the world, allegedly measuring 8 ft 10 In. Let’s fact-check this claim through this article. ![\\"\\"](\\" the-world-CLaim--975x1024.jpg\\") > Claim: The woman featured in this video is the world’s tallest woman, and > her height is 8 ft 10 In. > > Fact: According to the Guinness world records, the tallest living woman in > the world is Rumeysa Gelgi from Turkey. She is 7 ft. 0.7 In tall. Hence, the > claim made in the post is False To learn more about the viral clip, we performed a reverse image search leading us to the original video uploaded on an Instagram page named @reet.kahlon28( Lakhwinder Kaur). Lakhwinder is the director of Chandigarh- based Hair Garden Salon. ![\\"\\"](\\" the-world-Image-01-1024x911.jpg\\") We performed a keyword search on the internet to know if Lakhwinder is the world’s tallest woman, and learned that Rumeysa Gelgi from Turkey is the tallest living woman in the world according to Guinness world records. Her height is 7 ft. 0.7. ![\\"\\"](\\" the-world-Image-02-1024x690.jpg\\") If Lakhwinder were the tallest woman in the world, Indian media would have reported on it; at least she would have made a video, as one can find that she is very active on social media (she uploads vlogs on Youtube). Looking at the viral clip, it could be a work of an editor who stretched the video vertically to make her look tall. This difference between the original and the Viral clip is quite noticeable, and you can see this in the following collage. ![\\"\\"](\\" the-world-Image-03-1024x512.jpeg\\") To sum up, Rumeysa Gelgi is the tallest woman in the world, not the woman seen in this video. ![\\"Factly\\"](\\" WhatsApp-channel-minified-scaled.jpeg\\") Share.
