ISLAMABAD: The engagement ceremony of Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari, daughter of Pakistan’s former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and former president Asif Ali Zardari, will be held on Nov. 27 in Karachi, according to a Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) official press release.
Earlier on Saturday speculations erupted when an image of the event’s invitation card made the rounds on social media with a photograph of a smiling Benazir Bhutto and Zardari from their own wedding day.
“President Asif Ali Zardari is pleased to announce, with the grace of God, the engagement of his and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto's daughter Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari with Mr Mahmood Chaudhry on November 27, 2020," a statement issued by the PPP media cell said.
Bhutto’s to-be fiance is the son of Younas Chaudhry, a US-based businessman with ties to Dubai, local media reported.
Felicitations from around the world poured in on Twitter from PPP devotees, politicians and journalists for the 30-year-old, who has close to three million followers on the social media platform.
A note accompanying the ceremony’s invitation requests all guests to email a scanned copy of their negative Covid-19 PCR test results 24 hours prior to the event.
The couple’s wedding is slated for January next year.
