Westminster terrorist Khalid Masood’s daughter poses for a happy selfie after converting to Islam at her dad’s request
A PRETTY young woman who converted to Islam poses for a selfie - unaware the horrific actions of her monster father were about to wreck her life.
The attractive office manager who sent the smiley photo to pals and workmates is 24-year-old Andi Harvey, the daughter of Westminster Palace terrorist Khalid Masood.
When she took the happy snap for her Linkedin business network site she was a team leader at a PPI telesales claims company in Birmingham.
The career girl had up to ten people working under her and was tipped for a bright future.
But she had revealed to office colleagues the dark secret of her dad that would shatter her world.
She told them her father Khalid Masood was a violent man who “you didn’t mess with” who had been in and out of prison.
But she had followed her father’s wishes and - as he had done - converted to Islam several years ago, changing her name from Andi to Aisha.
At times Aisha had dressed in a full burka but wore a head scarf to work at the office of Money Solutions UK in Birmingham city centre.
But Aisha has not been seen since her father’s murderous rampage five weeks ago which left five people - including hero cop Keith Palmer - dead.
And workmates say they do not expect her there again.

Aisha was arrested by anti-terrorist police at her home in Birmingham after her crazed dad had mown down dozens of pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before knifing PC Palmer to death as he tried to storm into the House of Commons.
The suicidal jihadi was shot dead amid horrific scenes that stunned the world.
The knifeman terror arrest in Whitehall last week brought back chilling images of the carnage to the capitol.
Aisha was released after questioning and has been in hiding trying to come to terms with the evil her dad perpetrated.
A former work colleague, who worked with her for more than six months said:” Aisha is a bright girl who was given her own team and got results.
“But there was no doubt converting to Islam like her dad was the thing that dominated her life.
“She would talk about being a Muslim most days when she was in the office.
“She was always banging on about it and she bought Islamic books in with her.
“Frankly it was a bit annoying for the rest of us who weren’t interested in other people’s religions.
“But it was the be all and end all for Aisha.
“She even asked a young intern, who was a Christian, to pray from the Koran with her once.
“It was all a bit odd as if she was trying to get someone else to convert like she had done.
“She told me her father had been to prison for violence and she said he was someone you didn’t mess with.
“She said she had converted to Islam when he did and he was obviously a big influence on her life.
“She said they had considered emigrating together to live in Saudi Arabia.”
The former work colleague added: "I wouldn’t say Aisha was a popular team leader.
"She had a sharp tongue on her.
“She got so annoyed with one team member once and sent her a text saying, “I’m not the one to mess with.”
“She could be a bit too bossy and then she would try to laugh it off.
“But she’s not been seen at work since her dad’s attack and no one thinks she will be back again.”
Another former workmate said: "She doesn’t work here anymore.
"Everyone was in a state of shock when it came out what her dad had done.
"How could she just come back to work after that?”
Friends have told how Aisha and her younger sister Teegan,18 are like “chalk and cheese.”
Their mum Jane, 48, a successful businesswoman from Tunbridge Wells, Kent was unhappy when then as Andi her elder daughter went to live with her thug dad who was born Adrian Elms.
He converted to Islam and took the name Khalid Masood while living in Luton and Birmingham with Andi - who then changed her name to Aisha.
Masood had left prison after serving time for a violent knife attack outside a pub and claimed he had been radicalised while behind bars.
Teegan chose to stay with her mum and attended a £15,000 private school graduating from the sixth form with good grades.
While her sister wore a veil she went to her school leaving prom last year wearing a a glamorous dress with a plunging neck line.
