Muhammad Ali Jinnah's daughter Dina Wadia passes away
The only child of Pakistan's founding father was 98
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Dina Wadia, the daughter of Pakistan's founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah, has passed away at the age of 98.
Dina passed away on Thursday, Geo News reported.
Born on August 15, 1919, Wadia was Jinnah's only child.
Wadia first visited Pakistan after her father passed away in 1948, followed by a trip in 2004, which was the second time ever she visited the country.
She had paid her respects at her father's mausoleum in Karachi during that trip, which she claimed to be the most difficult experience of her life.
According to reports, Wadia and Jinnah's relationship fell apart when she chose to marry a Parsi, Neville Wadia.
After Pakistan's independence in 1947, Wadia had opted for an Indian citizenship.
Her son Nusli Wadia is a successful Indian businessman and also one of the most prominent members of the the Parsi community.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
