But if you are asking me to choose for her (I don't know why), then I prefer my country over some occasional professional acquaintance.
She's not betraying her country by posing with him. He's not a diplomat that he should be held accountable for what the Pakistan state covertly sponsors . He's probably as much of a target over there in Pak as she is in India; he's a fashion designer to begin with and many of his designs are provocative. They've known each other for years , she cannot snub him . The only reason to have not posed is a PR one but she'd use the controversy to her advantage in the long run by acting shocked in an interview a few months later ; she'd say she wasn't expecting these reactions and eye-roll her way out of it.
