In September last year, the three-time former first lady passed away in London after months-long battle with cancer.

Kulsoom was diagnosed with lymphoma and underwent multiple surgeries in London.

She was born on March 29, 1950 and married to PML-N chief Nawaz on April 2, 1971. The couple had four children — two sons and two daughters.

Kulsoom was the granddaughter of famous wrestler Ghulam Muhammad Bakhsh, commonly known as ‘Gama Pehlwan.’
