At 27, Fatima Bhutto has a CV that young people her age would give their right arm for -- despite her bloodied genealogy. But we aren't talking about her education at Columbia or at London's School of Oriental and African Studies. Nor are we alluding to her having been George Clooney's love interest at one point. Or the fact that this outspoken young woman from Karachi is the author of two books, and writes columns for The Daily Beast. It's her next book that the world is awaiting with a sense of intense anticipation. Here's how she is described on the cover of her memoir, Songs of Blood and Sword (Penguin): Granddaughter to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (Urdu: ذوالفقار علی بھٹو, IPA: , executed 1979; niece to Shahnawaz Bhutto, murdered 1985; daughter of Mir Murtaza, assassinated 1996; and niece to Benazir Bhutto, assassinated 2007.
Fatima's account of the history and dynamics of four generations of one of the world's most fascinating political dynasties promises to be as riveting as it is provocative. Watch out for it in April. And no, the book won't let you in on what transpired between Clooney and Fatima.

The world is looking forward to this book. cant wait for its release. Fatima definitely has an awesome CV and a superb personality.
ReplyDeleteHighly educated, Good Looking, Intelligent, Fearless and to top it all being Clooney's love interest is no small feat.
Yasir,
ReplyDeleteIn case you haven't read the Vogue article, we posted on the blog- just a quick point out-Fatima has denied there being any credibility to that story of Clooney and her. It was just a baseless rumour started by a camp (you know who) absolutely insecure of her growing popularity...
Hi Karishma
ReplyDeleteClooney or no Clooney makes no difference. I remain Fatima's fan as I am sure you do as well :)
I cant understand the psyche of fans/people who get upset if they hear of a relationship of two people (rumour or truth). Whatever anyone does is up to them in a free world!
But rumour mongering is a terrible thing and ought to be condemned.
Hope all is well at your end.
Regards.
