Mufti's son, the cinematographer

January 07, 2016 12:05

While everyone knows Mufti's daughter Mehbooba Mufti, who will now take over as the next CM of J-K, Mufti also has two other daughters and a son. Tassaduq Hussain his only son, was the cinematographer in the critically acclaimed film Omkara. He was too young to enter politics, so the mantle fell on Mufti's eldest daughter, Mehbooba. Another daughter is of course, Dr Rubaiya Sayeed, who was abducted by Kashmiri militants in 1989. She was freed in exchange of the release of five militants.
