Michelle wows Indian hearts through her dancing, humbleness, and by taking to India and its people so beautifully. The First Lady was a real sport and matched the US President in both charm and wit.
Last month, the statuesque and vivacious US first lady Michelle Obama captivated the Indian imagination. Now, it is French first lady Carla Bruni. She's elegant, unconventional and very glamorous. Here is all you wanted to know about Carla, and didn't know whom to ask. And decide which first lady had the bigger impact.
France's first lady and former supermodel Carla Bruni Sarkozy lost her brother to AIDS in 2006. A visit to the HIV ward of Safdarjung Hospital was a natural stop.
The US first lady spent two hours at the Delhi's National Crafts Museum during her visit in November. She was not there to just stand and stare, she also bought some things, among them a terracotta Nandi Bull and a Ganesh head.
US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle could not see the Taj Mahal during their November visit to India for lack of time. But French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni ensured they made it, visiting the monument of love over this weekend.
US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle had a glimpse of India's rich cultural and historic heritage as they visited the 450-year-old Mughal marvel in New Delhi. They were keen to see the Taj Mahal, but could not.
They may be the French First Couple, but at the famous Fatehpur Sikri dargah of saint Salim Chisthi, Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni walked barefoot with their heads covered and prayed for a son just like Mughal Emperor Akbar did centuries ago.
When the US President was talking serious business with industry honchos, his wife Michelle interacted with differently-abled children at the library of Mumbai University and danced with them to a hit number from the Aamir Khan-starrer "Rang De Basanti".
