Last year, Dangi traveled to London, where he met with the world's tallest living man, 8-foot-3-inch Sultan Kösen of Turkey. "It's been a lifelong dream to travel and becoming a Guinness World Records title holder has enabled me to do that," Dangi told The Telegraph. "I'm honoured to be in London, I've always wanted to visit and the fact I get to meet Sultan is special. It makes me extremely proud to represent Nepal all around the world. I'm extremely humbled by the support I receive."
Dangi had a condition known as primordial dwarfism, which means, unlike with many other forms of dwarfism, his bones and organs were proportionally smaller than those of an average-height person. While many primordial dwarfs suffer from health issues, Dangi was described as "unusually fit."
Family friend Sujit Dilip, owner of India's well-known Rambo Circus, told the Daily Mirror, "Today, our circus is flooded with tears at the loss of the world's smallest man ... whom we lovingly called Prince Chandra."
