watched this vid with tears pouring down. Afghanistan is such a beautiful country with beautiful people but never was given the chance to show the rest of the world sharbat gula is a sign of afghanistans past her eyes unfold mysteries and wonders without anyone words spoken her picture has touched and inspired many such a myself God Bless You and your country sharbat gula ur an afghan Gem allah hamraet hamesha bashaa wa zindagi khush dashta bashe janem peace be with u <3
she did not even know the photo was as popular as it was until the photographer found her yrs later. Money from that photo was not of interest to her... she had no interest or desire to be an icon of sorts. She is married has children...Its a different way of life .They dont see money the way most north americans do.and Lego master of course you dont understand.SHE IS AFGHNI.and as far as staying pure? Mr Lego master.u are the unpure one.your racism and vile hatred makes YOU the MOST unpure.
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...
the majority of good Muslums ARE pure in their faith. They follow it the best the know how and are good people.Its the radicals that make it bad. Maybe People Like 'Lego Master' are cowards that dont have what it takes to follow THEIR faith diligintly and so they take it out on those who ALL Muslums because of the poor actions of a group of Radical Muslums....
WHY? Well...to make themselves feel better about being JUST as unfaithfull to THEIR christian faith or other non muslum faith.
I met this woman. I lived in Afghanistan for 15 years, my father worked for the UN there. She used to be at the Fruit Bazar all the time. She was about 12, my age then, when she married a European form Sweeden. It did not go well. He wanted to take her back to his country. The Afghan government prohibited her to leave the country with a foreinger. From what I recall he went back to Sweeden and last we knew she was back at the Bazar.
I really dont understand, I mean in the middle of arabia you find such beautiful people, may be shes a swedish immigrant who was turned afgan or whtever. She does really not match with the typical arabic girl, really a outtake.
i think you are reffering to what is said in the BIBLE.and not in the quran.pls read deutronomy 21:10-14
10When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, 11And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; 12Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. 14And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
middle of arabia? in afghanistan? do u know wat u talk about? and + blue eye is rare but VERY normal for afghans in my father had blue and my sister hve green.
same with armenian.. my friend is armenian and her eyes change colors from bright blue to dark green to a mix or to a hazel or to a brown.. i love her eyes
Afganistan is destroyed by western people you must be all proud of this as they did this with your taxes. Afgansitan was a peacefull country with women rights womens were doctors teachers engineers and were wearing skirts but instead of helping them the capitalists and the russians destroyed Afganistan together. What a shame!
I am an Alevi Qizilbash do you know what it means. Do you know our historic relations with Afganistan there are a lot of Afgan People living in my country.
Afganistan is bleeding so as my heart my roots are from Afganistan just like Mevlana Jelaleddin-i Rumi. Just check who Rumi is.
Half of my Tribe have the same sort of colored eyes too. But ignorance is bliss I can be a fool but I am not as ignorant as you believe me. The world is round and it does not turns just in your axis learn about Alevi Qizilbash people learn about us before judging!
afghanistan.. man our country women have been thru a lot..may godd bliss them with happyness.. and dat lil faggot sayin shes a jew man.. wtf igorant people these dais..
let's be honest the real modern day jew, I don't know about the ancient ones but the modern real jew is semetic looking like borat, this girl does not look semetic the picture of her I heard in her older years was doctered and changed.
they arent fake if you see the picture 17 years ago her eyes are even MORE breathtakingly beautiful!!! and I dont think that they have color contacts in Afghanistan durring the war...
@Bautisnemo Ur a retard if it wasn't for Steve McCurry photo u think they would have volunteers going over their to help. He's a photographer he's just doing his job you act like its his fault he's famous now.
Nothing can be compared with her eyes in the world because her eyes are so pretty. No one can have her eyes. She is the ony one...Zindabot Afghanistan
Thank you for posting. I always wondered what happened to her. My God it looks like she had a hard life...and I'm not saying this to be an assh*le*. She should have gotten paid for such an iconic photograph.
she was orphaned in the afghan war-thn lived in a refugee camp in pakistan-and there she ws photographed by an american photographer at age 13-she became really popular through her pic in national geo magazne-so the photogrpher went bk to find her in afghanistan 17 years later and thn found her after searching for weeks and giving up hope,she ws 30,married and hd 3 daughters,poor thing if she recived proper food and sleep and quality of life thn she would hv been the most beautiful woman alive
She is Beautiful. her eyes are so haunted. it is if she is holding secrets and pain she has been through in her eyes. its as if she is challanging the world with her haunted eyes.
With all the money national geographic and Mccurry earn from this famous photograph hopefully they atleast gave a portion to Sharbat. I watched the documentary and was amazed that they actually found her still alive and even have a family with 3 kids considering how bad the situation back when that famous picture was taken. Her eyes is still as beautiful and haunting.
I just watched the NG special on her yesterday. I think Mccurry mentioned ALOT of people wanting to help her/ send her money all kinds of things. Of course he doesnt mention what happened to all of that. Pretty frustrating, thats all I could think after watching that.
