Sharbat Gula, the Afghan Girl by Chandru Arni

[rkg11918]

WTF. Her eyes are amazing.

[crippleleg59]

@somesortanaughty it's not photoshop, it's real. The picture where she is wearing red was when she was 12, the picture of her in purple was when she was 29, and you can tell that they're real, look at the worn, tiredness of her in the purple compared to the red. It's real, trust me.

[TheDustinnguyen]

"she was about 17... About 12 years later, Steve McCurry, who had first photographed her found her after a remarkable search."

um i'm pretty sure it should be "she was about 12... About 17 years later..."

lol

[chandruarni]

@TheDustinnguyen You are right. I did not know I made this mistake. I was soooooo taken up by her mesmerizing eyes.

[melisse1123]

We studied this photograph like crazy in my photography class. I think we even watched a documentary on it. It was about trying to find the girl a decade later, or something like that. I'm always watching documentaries. I just watched Programming the Nation. Has anyone else seen it? bitly .com/raMjYx

[somesortanaughty]

why is the second pic so identical to the first one? what? he couldn't catch any more pics then one? bloody hell..this smells of photoshop and age processing such a long way ..just no way i'm taking that new pic for being real.

[Aiszka1]

Magic amazing eyes

[kgizelle]

that littel girl has the most striking eyes,and beautiful eyes i've ever seen,

[MISSHERMAN2007]

beautiful people stay strong we love you .........your somali sister

[TheJimbo4123]

she turned into a witch

[mrlifenmrdeath]

wow...the most beautiful eyes i have ever seen

[dkcvll]

???????????

[therainman6666]

i bet she got paid peanuts if anything at all poor girl when she was younger she looked so beautiful like an angle but now shes lost her looks but her pic will last a life time

[lllstupidmovieslll]

the girl is beautiful

[ThePoshtoon]

how is it possible that her nose becomes hooked in the adult version? look at a high def version of the child version the nose is not hooked

seems unlikely that the nose can undergo such substantial changes

[CNSZU]

@ThePoshtoon The nose is also hooked in the young version, if you look closely. The angle is deceiving.

[sarasara123pk]

mashala!is she alive??

[RCAvhstape]

When McCurry found her she said she remembered him photographing her in 85, as it was the only time she ever got her picture taken. She also remembered details about him no one else did, which was pretty convincing.

[Tails04]

As if they found her eh. Thats awesome aha "Sharbat Gula".. She took the photos with her face covered tho.

[modernafghan]

france has marianne and afghanistan sharbat gula "the afghan girl" she represent purity,innocence and the beauty of all women aroud the world just with her look...she is our symbol and hope to our beautiful afghan people...

[tufailking]

she has got unbeleivble beauiful eyes

[bomberguy06]

she was a very pretty girl

[jocey123456789]

her eyes are beautiful and she has an amazing bone structure of the face. she is gorgeous

[jocey123456789]

im black,white,indian,puerto rican, and a little Afghans...people always ask me and im frm around where i live because i look so foreign. she is beautiful. her eyes tells a story. my eyes are green with a hint of hazel but hers with a hint of blue. hers is more beautiful.

[RedHead531]

@jocey123456789 how can you be all that an afghan? If you hadn't know, afghans don't marry from outside races..

[EltijaZaheen]

Some people have nice eyes,

some people have nice smiles,

others have nice faces,

but All AFGHANS have all of them with nice hearts

[applesky007]

She has beautiful eyes. People assume that these eyes belong on white people. Just shows how close the blood lines are. Asian, Caucasian, Black. We are all the same people. Give respect to everyone, no matter what.

[LostLittlePoet]

@applesky007 They are also white. And this people are not very rare in india pakistan iran pakistan tehere are also people with colored eyes. Even the amazones are belived to be a mogol tribe there are colored eyes in mogolia too. The Finish Language is also inthe same language family with Turks. The Huns (hungarians) are also a Turkic tribe There are some Turkish tribes with colored eyes sucha s Avars. Racism is useless.

[Tweetyslim1]

She is one of those people which the word "pretty" is not good enough to define. She is like a goddess; truly beautiful.

[SolarWindStar]

fake

[ilove0102]

what a beautiful she was! u can tell by her face that she went thru !

but that picture of her is amazing !

[maryami69]

I think they used some software and played with her original pic to make her look like she has grown up and then made this story...

but for real... she is beautiful... her eye ball is really special and atractive

[ElementaryPhysics]

@maryami69 No it's not made up, There is a video online that shows her getting her picture taken.

[majesticmaniac]

My god that picture..and her see green haunting eyes..her eyes just kept coming back to me the first time i saw her picture..god sure is an artist..

[mansonfan8390]

it's not just her eyes. there's somethin' about her. she's beautiful.

[pup101]

@mansonfan8390 well now shes ugly...... well in my opinion anyway

[4woffd4]

@mansonfan8390 I totally agree. She has a gorgeous face, and the innocence and modesty I see in her and having a sense of wanting to help her makes her all the more beautiful.

[JACKELINful]

MMMM COMO A CA,BIADO

[Emilinhos]

That´s not her, she would have been a milf at this time.

No, but serious, i don't think it's the same woman.

[LIRIDONZETSU]

@Emilinhos are you stupid or what ??

Don't like that...........when the girl was photografied at the age of 13 she was suffering of war.........war in afghanistan and you say oh she coulde be a milf fuck you man ...........well yes she was beautiful at the age of 13, but respect a women asshole.

[Emilinhos]

Let me get this clear for you, it's called irony, it can be very, very hard to understand on internet. But i thought i got it quite obvious here... well well, everybody isn't rocket scientists.

[muhammadrasha]

watch your saying respect yourself

[Godtheonly1]

Wow! Nicely presented

[blackpigpigxxx]

she could of been a model.

[fandanstan]

Yeah right.  She's better than that.

[pioneerworx]

lol she was still a life .. thats some scary thoughts

[redplague]

Don't think it's the same woman tbh.

[chandruarni]

Theres no doubt that is the same girl as even iris recognition tests conducted in US have also proved.

[nt250934]
