Some Lesser Known Facts About Dina Wadia
Dina Wadia was born to the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and his second wife Rattanbai Petit (known as ‘Maryam Jinnah’ being converted from Parsi to Islam).
Her paternal grandparents were Hindu who hailed from Gujarat, India and migrated to Karachi for business in the mid-1870s.
She was the only child of Jinnah who was raised alone by her father after his separation from Rattanbai and her subsequent demise.
She used to call her father by the name “Grey Wolf.”
She was an avid dog lover and had many of them.
Being the only child of Jinnah, she was a pampered kid and had a great relationship with her father, which went sour after Dina had a love marriage with an Indian Parsi named Neville Wadia at the age of 17.
Post marriage, she lived in Mumbai, but their marriage lasted only for 5 years as the couple divorced in 1943.
