Valérie Trierweiler, former partner of French President Francois Hollande, has visited a hospital in Mumbai, her first public appearance since they separated. 

She met patients as part of a charity mission.

Hollande announced his separation from Trierweiler on Saturday following a media storm over allegations he is having an affair with an actress.

Trierweiler arrived in Mumbai last night. Her charity trip is aimed at working to help children in the country fight malnutrition and hunger.
