Pakistan's First Lady - Begum Sehba Musharraf 

 in India

 

Pakistan's First Lady Begum Sehba Musharraf was seldom in news - until she accompanied her husband President Pervez Musharraf to the Agra Summit in India. The first glimpse of Sehba Musharraf was as she stood by the side of her husband ready to step down the PIA aircraft that brought them to Delhi. Looking relaxed and smiling, she seemed happy to be there. Throughout her stay in India, it was a pleasant and a smiling Sehba that the nation saw. Her happiness and smile seemed genuine - which is enough to endear any guest to the hosts. She was comfortable in her surroundings, at ease with people, human in her reactions and confident as a woman. These pictures say it all!
