Sanam Bhutto - Life

Life

Sanam was educated at the Convent of Jesus and Mary in Karachi. She later attended Harvard University near Boston like her sister Benazir Bhutto. She married Nasir Hussain, the son of a 1940s Diwan of the former princely state of Junagarh like her grandfather Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto. However, the couple later divorced.

According to the 30 July 2003 Sentencing Order passed by the Swiss investigating magistrate on the SGS/Cotecna cases against Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari of alleged corruption, Nasir Hussain's company, Nassam Overseas Inc., was one of the three offshore companies that received "commissions" on the award of a pre-shipment inspection contract by SGS/Cotecna. According to some estimates, between September 1994, when SGS/Cotecna were awarded the contract, and September 1997 Nasir Husain's Nassam Overseas Inc. had received $3.81 million in commissions.

Sanam lives in London with her two children, Shahmir Hussain and Azadeh.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.
    Robert Warshow (1917–1955)

    That life is really so tragic would least of all explain the origin of an art form—assuming that art is not merely imitation of the reality of nature but rather a metaphysical supplement of the reality of nature, placed beside it for its overcoming.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
