Personal Life[change | change source]
Hamza, as the eldest of four children, was born to Shehbaz Sharif on September 6, 1974. His mother, Nusrat Shehbaz, is not only Shehbaz Sharif’s cousin but also his first wife, with their marriage taking place in 1973.
After completing his undergraduate studies at Government College, Hamza continued his education by earning an LLB (Honours) from the London School of Economics. He managed the family business during their period of exile.
It has been suggested that Hamza has been married three times. One of these alleged marriages was to Ayesha Ahad Malik in 2010, a claim which Hamza has refuted. In 2012, he tied the knot with Rabia Hamza. When he submitted his nomination papers in 2018, he included the details of his two wives, Mehrunissah Hamza and Rabia Hamza.
