General Pervez Musharraf’s wife, Sheba Musharraf is an activist who has been working for the welfare of the Pakistani community for a very long period of time.
The media recently reported the false news of general Musharraf’s death, his family confirmed to the media that he is alive, not on a ventilator but in a critical situation. He is is admitted to a hospital in Dubai after a deteriorating health condition.
Who Is Sehba Musharraf? General Pervez Musharraf Wife
Sehba Musharraf is the former first lady of Pakistan most popularly known as the wife of General Pervez Musharraf. After a successful military coup in the country in 1999, the general was the head of the country for 8 years.
During his reign, begum Sehba was often seen accompanying her husband almost everywhere. If we look for more information about her, we can see the Indian media covering more on her more than any other media.
The time she traveled to Delhi, the Times of India called her a woman who is not satisfied with just being behind a powerful man. She is an activist who actually wants to bring about change in the community.
She was observed by the International media closely even before she became the first lady in 2001. When General Musharraf took over the position of chief executive in 1999 for almost 20 months, she used to be behind him while cutting ribbons, signing important documents, and in other official matters.
However, we see this gesture of hers as supporting her husband, giving him a mind of hers in decision making rather than just being his wife in front of the public.
Sehba Musharraf And Pervez Musharraf Have Two Children
Begum Sehba and General Pervez are parents to two children, Bilal and Ayla. As per an article published in 2001, Bilal was living in Boston with his wife and had graduated majoring in finance from the same place. Similarly, Ayla was living with her musician husband in Karachi. By profession, she is an architect and has a daughter named Mariam.
However, the media have refrained from covering the family. There aren’t enough biographies apart few pictures here and there on the Musharraf family, despite being the most powerful man in the 2000s.
The Musharraf couple married in the year 1968 and have been going strong for decades now. As the current news on the general’s ill health, the Pakistani public is quite concerned about him.
We wish him a speedy recovery and strength to the family.
