      I love this picture, she looks astonishing. And SubhanAllah, what eyes, they tell its own story.

      I agree with you Dukes, on the natural beauty, no airbrushed model pict could ever beat this.

        Out of curiosity, did she benefit at all from all this fame?
        Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

        A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

        For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


        The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

        -Ferishta, 1560–1620

          Actually there was this video that a photographer went out and searched for her. When he found her, she obviously knew nothing about her 'fame.' I think herself, family, and husband were very uneasy with it. Its kind of a besharam thing to some families to have their pictures out to the public. Not that her picture is protraying any negativity. But i think she likes her own privacy. Her husband was there very close to her as they were interviewing her....obviously he would not have liked it.

          No doubt she is a beautiful woman on Earth, but i think her privacy should have been a little more respected. How would you like it, as a Pashtun parent, to see your daughters picture all over the place. I wonder how she feels about it...I dont know, maybe i am just thinking too much :P......anyhow not trying to start any heat to this thread.....she has this beauty no one can describe. And she is an icon to Afghan beauty.
