While talking to a source Zoha said, “My dream is to serve Pakistan by holding an administrative position.”
Zoha’s father, Mohammad Rafiq Awan, works in Wapda and hails from the Tarbela town of the Hazara Division in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He moved to Rawalpindi many years ago due to a job.
All the five sisters attended primary school at Presentation Convent High School Rawalpindi; Benazir Bhutto also studied from the same school.
Zoha said, “I have learned from my father that it is not difficult to turn your weaknesses into strengths. People sympathized with my father on the birth of five daughters, but today we have proved them wrong. Today, my father has the power because his daughters are in positions of authority and big government positions. Today we sisters represent the whole of Pakistan.
