The 'height' of love: Short-tall celeb couples!

These famous personalities seem perfectly matched, except heightwise -- but then love is blind! Do you and your partner make for a similar picture?

Forget carefully arranged photo-ops. When it comes to practically any physical shortfall (no pun intended!), it can usually be airbrushed away -- except for this one!

We take a look at some of the cutest celebrity couples on the scene who are compatible in every way, except maybe heightwise!

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

The petite reality starlet stands at 5'2" -- and new hubby Kris is over a whole foot taller at 6'9"! That's what you get for snagging a professional basketball player, Kim.

If you and your partner also share a sizeable height difference, do send in your photographs! Write in to getahead@rediff.co.in (subject line: 'The Height of Love') with the pics attached and we'll publish the best ones right here on rediff.com!

Avantika Malik Khan and Imran Khan

Imran's missus is on the shorter side too, while the actor towers over her at 5'9". Despite the heels, Avantika is just about making it to shoulder level, but hey -- it's nowhere as extreme as Kim and Kris, what say?

Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith

Speaking of heels, get a load of Jada's vertiginous stilettos! Despite the foot torture, however, the 5' actress is dwarfed by husband Will, who stands at 6'2".

Fergie and Josh Duhamel

The diminutive Black Eyed Peas singer is 5'2" and like the rest of the ladies on the list, resorts to high heels for red carpet appearances with Josh. Too bad they don't make much difference next to her 6'3.5" actor beau!

Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan

It doesn't matter that AB towers over his wife at 6'2" -- at exactly a foot shorter, it still looks like Jaya rules the roost!

Sophie Dahl and Jamie Cullum

Now here's a switch -- model Sophie Dahl is 6' tall and her British jazz musician husband Jamie is only 5'4". But they think nothing of it and have gone on record to state that they find the media obsession with their height difference 'weird'!

Isla Fisher and Sasha Baron Cohen

The comedian is 6'3" and his lovely actress wife is 5'2" -- no wonder she stated in an interview that when she's standing next to him, she feels like a "circus freak"!

Freida Pinto and Dev Patel

Our desi Hollywood star is 5'5" and her heartthrob is a lanky 6'2". But then there's also a six year age-gap between them and they make that work too -- nothing comes in the way of true love!

Dannii Minogue and Kris Smith

At 5'2", the younger Minogue is as petite as sister Kylie and her model boyfriend is 6'3". But hey, who's counting, really?

L'Wren Scott and Mick Jagger

And finally, we come to the rock 'n' roll royalty. Now Mick Jagger is no shortie -- he's 5'10" -- but former model and stylish L'Wren is 6'4"! Not much one can do, is there? She's one statuesque stunner!
