Bakhtawar names son after late uncle, grandfather

Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari, the daughter of former president Asif Ali Zardari and late ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto, and her husband Mahmood Chaudhry welcomed their first child, a baby boy, earlier this month. The couple took to social media and shared the good news with everyone. 

Now, the 31-year-old has taken to Twitter to announce the name of her newborn, which, she says, is an ode to her late uncle and paternal grandfather. 

"Mir Hakim Mahmood Choudhry," Bakhtawar announced on the bird app. "Named after my late maternal uncle Mir and my late paternal grandfather Hakim Ali Zardari." 

Previously, she took to Instagram and shared, "We are happy to announce the birth of our baby boy." The caption of the post read and a picture attached with her tweet. The date October 10, 2021, was also mentioned in the picture, indicating the birthday of their first child.

She then thanked everyone for their wishes.

"Thank you for all the love and celebrations welcoming our little baby boy to the world. He was due Nov 8th but decided his own birthday and surprised us all on Oct 10th - currently in the NICU but getting stronger every day - do keep him in your prayers," she had tweeted.
