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:

    There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy’s life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    It’s babe feminism—we’re young, we’re fun, we do what we want in bed—and it has a shorter shelf life than the feminism of sisterhood. I’ve been a babe, and I’ve been a sister. Sister lasts longer.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
