That's because none of it is true.
"How did she feel?
"I became very surprised [because] I didn't like media and taking photos
from childhood. At first, I was concerned about the publicity of my
photo but when I found out that I have been the cause of support/help
for many people/refugees, then I became happy."

Read about it here, and see a picture of Sharbat Gula (that's her name)
in public, in the presence of a man who is not her husband while not
wearing a burka.
The article published on digg.com is very close to 100% bullshit. About
all they got right is that Steve McCurry was the photographer.

I was trying to be kind.
I have no such compulsion.
Given that all our sources are at least secondhand, it is possibly
true but everything I have read about society in Afghanistan and the two
photographic incidents totally contradicts the story. Even a cursory
riffle through sources should have flagged up the ludicrousness of it.
Maybe it's an early April fool?
I'm getting tired of this compulsion people seem to have to come up with
their own false narratives with no supporting evidence.
I suppose since it's a false narrative there can be no supporting
evidence, so let's just call it what it is, which is a lie.
