New Delhi: General Pervez Musharraf, one of the most powerful Pakistani leaders during the first decade of 21st century, was born in Delhi on August 11, 1943.
After partition, Musharraf's family migrated to Pakistan where his father, Syed Musharraf Uddin — a graduate of Aligarh University — joined the Pakistan foreign service and later retired as Secretary of foreign affairs.
He accepts Mustafa Kamal Ataturk as his hero.
Musharraf is married to Sehba, who is from Okara. They have a son, Bilal, and a daughter, Ayla Raza, who works as an architect in Karachi. Musharraf and his wife have four grandchildren, two from each child.
