Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi shares candid recollections of her interactions with world leaders and prominent personalities in her newly released memoir, Belonging: A Journey Of Love. The book includes anecdotes about then-US President Bill Clinton's 2000 India visit, where he was occasionally seen "covertly appraising the more striking women" at a reception hosted in his honor. Sonia also recounts Nicolas Sarkozy's 2008 visit to India, where the French president traveled without his partner, Carla Bruni, and an amusing exchange with the wife of then vice-president Mohammad Ansari regarding Sarkozy's relationship with Bruni. Additionally, Sonia shares her encounters with the British royal family, particularly Princess Diana, during their visits to India in 1981 and 1992, including a conversation on the day Diana posed alone on the famous 'love bench' at the Taj Mahal.
