Pamella Bordes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pamella Bordes, born Pamella Singh Choudhary in 1961 in Rajasthan, India and later marrying Henri Bordes, is a photographer and former Miss India who briefly hit the headlines in the United Kingdom in 1988 and 1989 as the mistress and escort [1][2][3] of several notable individuals. She had been known in society columns as a social companion of then Sunday Times editor Andrew Neil and of junior minister Colin Moynihan; it was then discovered she had a House of Commons security pass arranged by MPs David Shaw and Henry Bellingham. The Evening Standard published allegations that she was associated with a Libyan security official named Ahmed Gadaff Al Daim, raising issues similar to the Profumo affair, or more broadly Mata Hari.

Bordes won the Miss India crown in 1982, and subsequently moved to Europe, where she met her former husband Henri Bordes. She spent years recovering from scars after acid was thrown in her face during one of her liaisons. Since her period of notoriety she has become a contemporary photographer and has resumed using her birth name.
