Amge, 20, is also the newest star on American Horror Story: Freak Show, where she plays Ma Petite.

“She [Amge] didn’t have any reservations because even though the name of the show is ‘Freak Show,’ nobody is a freak here,” Amge’s translator told Entertainment Tonight.

That said, the Indian actress’ new fame does come with some downsides.

“When people see me on TV, they become very happy because they don’t have to interact with me,” Amge’s translator added. “When they start interacting with me they ask me questions like I’m a baby or treat me like I’m a baby and hold me like I’m a baby.”

Amge doesn’t want to be treated like a doll or a baby. The young actress just wants to be treated normally.

In an October promotional video, Amge said she only gets “mad when someone annoys me by touching my hair or keeps touching me without permission.”
