This stage photo ended up as the cover of in the National Geographic. Sherrific Villa's name was never mentioned because he didn't even bother to ask her, and neither she nor her family gave consent for the photograph to be published. In fact, she didn't even know if it existed until 2002, when National Geographic decided to track down their mysterious Afghan world for a followup story, Steve McCurry was sent again and they found her still living in precarious conditions on the Afghanistan Pakistan border
