Festivities begin for Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari's wedding
Karachi: Festivities have begun to mark the upcoming wedding ceremony of Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, the eldest daughter of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and former President Asif Ali Zardari.
Bakhtawar is going to marry Mehmood Chaudhry, the scion of a Dubai based family who have varied business interests including construction.
On Sunday, a millad was held at Bilawal House in Karachi which was attended by Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, Faryal Talpur and female legislators along with friends of the bride-to-be.
The mehendi ceremony is to be held on January 27 while the nikah will be held on January 29. The valima has been scheduled for January 30 where over 300 guests have been invited including party members and extended family.
Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari is the second child born to Benazir Bhutto, and the first one in the world born to a sitting Prime Minister. At the time of her birth, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto became the first Premier in the world to take maternity leave. She is younger to her brother Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who leads the Pakistan People's Party, and older to Aseefa, who made her political debut a few months ago during an opposition rally. Bakhtawar has mostly kept away from politics and the media, apart from commenting on current affairs through her twitter account.
She got engaged on November 27 to Mehmood Chaudhry, wearing a light pink dress and a shawl embroidered with her mother and father's visage. At the time, Bilawal had been infected with the novel coronavirus and could not attend the ceremony.
