Sharing the emotional memory, Bakhtawar said:
“My birthday was near, and I had just met her the night before she was going to leave. She said, ‘I want to wish you happy birthday in advance.’ I replied, ‘Don’t wish me in advance. Wish me in January.'”
According to Bakhtawar, Benazir Bhutto insisted on wishing her early, a moment that would later carry profound meaning.
She further revealed:
“After she was gone, I found this necklace in her drawer. It said, ‘Happy 18th birthday.’ So I feel like she was prepared.”

Benazir Bhutto’s Enduring Legacy in Pakistan
