A pint-sized Indian man has become the star tuk-tuk driver of his village because of his cute personality. Mahavir Singh is a 23-year-old man but stands barely three-foot tall.
The father of one is the most famous man in his village of nearly 10,000 dwellers in Zhinzuwada in Gujarat in western India.
While a steady mode of public transport is available for the locals, people happily wait for their turn to be ferried by Mahavir, who can hardly reach the foot-stand of his autorickshaw. Once the passengers are seated, he carefully drives his three-wheeler- a popular yet tricky vehicle to balance, through the maze of tiny lanes.
But Mahavir, who started driving a tuk-tuk two years ago to make ends meet, is not the only person who is a dwarf in his village. He is born to a family of dwarves.
While his mother is a petite 5ft tall woman, his father Anup Singh Jala, 58, stands just a half foot taller than Mahavir and his sisters Hetalba and Nitiba are three-foot tall each.
But unlike other dwarves, who are mostly subjected to humiliation, Mahavir and his family are loved and respected by one and all in the village.
