Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, the daughter of the late Benazir Bhutto and former president Asif Ali Zardari, has finally announced the name of her newborn son and the name is a tribute to her departed family members.

The baby has been named Mir Hakim Mahmood Chaudhry to honour her late maternal uncle Murtaza Bhutto (whose full name was Mir Ghulam Murtaza Bhutto) and her late paternal grandfather Hakim Ali Zardari.

Bakhtawar and her husband Mahmood Chaudhry announced the birth of their baby on October 12 in identical posts on Instagram and Twitter and said she had given birth on October 10.

On October 13 she shared that the baby was still in the NICU but "getting stronger every day". "He was due Nov 8th but decided his own birthday and surprised us all on Oct 10th," she had revealed.

She had posted a picture of a neonatal care unit at a UAE hospital on Instagram on October 12, indicating that the baby was born in the Gulf state.

Bakhtawar and Dubai-based businessman Choudhry were engaged on Nov 27, 2020 and married earlier this year.
