How did Mehrdad Pahlbod meet Princess Shams? Their love is the kind of story movies are made of. I’m surprised that Hollywood hasn’t snatched it up.

It was enchanting to see Mehrdad’s personality become effervescent when describing his vision of first seeing her. “She was beautiful, radiant, glowing, resplendent, and so many other words that describe beauty and perfection,” he would say.
