Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari, the elder daughter of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and former president Asif Ali Zardari, on Sunday shared a photo of beautiful portrait of her mother on her 13th death anniversary.
Bakhtawar, to express her love and gratitude to her mother, used only flower and heart emojis.
The sketch, encased in an elegant wooden frame, was placed prominently during Bakhtawar's engagement ceremony and was in the backdrop in many photos of her and her fiance Mahmood Choudhry.

The event, an open-air affair at Bilawal House in Karachi on November 28, was nothing short of a fairy-tale event.

Strict observance of coronavirus safety protocols was requested, with the invitation card urging all participants to get tested beforehand.
Bakhtawar's brother, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari was down with coronavirus at the time (he has since recovered) and was thus in attendance virtually via a video call.
Benazir Bhutto's 13th death anniversary observed
Benazir Bhutto was born on June 21, 1953, and was the eldest daughter of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Begum Nusrat Bhutto.
Benazir, the central figure behind PPP before her husband Asif Ali Zardari and their son PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari took up the party's reins, was assassinated in a gun and bomb attack in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007.
A rally was held on Sunday at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, Larkana, to pay tribute to her on her 13th death anniversary.

The village contains the family graveyard of the Bhutto family — Zulfiqar, Murtaza, and Benazir Bhutto, are all buried there.
Benazir took oath as the first female prime minister of Pakistan on December 2, 1988. She was also the first woman to lead a Muslim state and twice served as the prime minister of Pakistan.
