Some Lesser Known Facts

Dina Wadia, daughter of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was born to his second wife Rattanbai Petit, who converted to Islam and was known as Maryam Jinnah.
Her Hindu paternal grandparents migrated from Gujarat, India to Karachi in the mid-1870s for business.
Dina was Jinnah's only child, raised by him after his separation from Rattanbai.
She affectionately called her father the "Grey Wolf" and was known for her love of dogs.
Despite being pampered as Jinnah's only child, their relationship soured when she had a love marriage at 17 with Neville Wadia.
Following their marriage in Mumbai, Dina and Neville divorced after 5 years in 1943.
Dina was born on the same date as Pakistan's formation, August 14-15, at midnight.
After Jinnah's death, she visited Karachi for the first time on September 11, 1948.
In 2004, Dina's last visit to Pakistan was with her son, Nusli Wadia, and grandsons, Jehangir and Ness.
In 2007, she filed a petition in the Bombay High Court to secure legal possession of South Court on Malabar Hill, valued at $400 million.
