News of Bakhtawar Bhutto’s coming engagement has taken Pakistani media by a storm. Newspapers, television channels, social media sites, blogs and YouTube have gone wild over the news that she is getting engaged with a businessmen based abroad. Reaction makes us wonder if the eldest daughter of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto is perhaps the most popular member of the Bhutto family at the present – may be loved more than even Bilawal Bhutto!
There is little doubt that Bakhtawar is more popular with the youth in Pakistan than her father, former president Asif Ali Zardari. But the information blast about here indicates that Bakhtawar is perhaps more popular than her younger sister Aseefa, and perhaps even her brother Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, when it comes to commanding the attention of Pakistanis.
A good indicator of this is the number of times articles related to Bakhtawar have been read since the announcement of her wedding. At Global Village Space, a small magazine that does not quite reach enough people as larger English dailies like Dawn and The Express Tribune, stories on Bakhtawar have been read 30,000 times in the past three days.
Congratulations! to Bakhtawar Bhutto! Benazir's daughters need to get out of the mess daddy has created in Pakistani politics! https://t.co/dCplKvAPdi
