He officially started his political career on 18 October 2014 by addressing a mass rally in Karachi.[3] Bilawal was born at Lady Dufferin Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan on 21 September 1988,as the first of three children of future Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari who later became the President of Pakistan in 2008. He was only three months old when his mother, Benazir Bhutto became the first female Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1988. He is also the grandson of former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.[4] Bilawal was admitted to Aitchison College, Lahore, but due to security threats he moved to Karachi Grammar School and later attended Froebel's International School in Islamabad.[5] He left Pakistan with his mother in April 1999. His father was in jail in Pakistan from 1996 to 2004 for corruption charges.[6] He spent his childhood in Dubai and London during his family's self-exile.[4] He later attended Rashid School For Boys in Dubai, where he was Vice President of the student council.[7] He has a black belt in Taekwondo but regrets he could not play cricket because of his family circumstances.[4] In 2007, Bilawal Zardari enrolled at Christ Church, a constituent college of the University of Oxford. He studied British history and later transitioned to study general history.[8] Benazir also enrolled him in the Oxford Union debating society.[9] In December 2007, he returned to Pakistan after Benazir was assassinated. He also returned to Pakistan in September 2008 to witness his father sworn in as President of Pakistan.[10] Bilawal completed his education in June 2010.[11][12][13] Political career Benazir Bhutto carrying Bilawal at Andrews Air Force Base upon her arrival for a state visit to the United States in 1989 After the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, Benazir's political will declared Asif Ali Zardari as Benazir's successor for party leadership.[14][15][16] However, Bilawal became Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party because Zardari favoured Bilawal to represent Bhutto's legacy in part to avoid division within the party due to Zardari's own unpopularity.[14][15][17] Zardari planned to act as co-chairman of the PPP for at least three years until Bilawal completed his studies overseas.[14][16][17] Bilawal was appointed chairman of the PPP on 30 December 2007.[18] Asif Zardari also announced Bilawal's name change from "Bilawal Zardari" to "Bilawal Bhutto Zardari".[19] At that time he was still studying at Oxford.[20] It had been estimated that Bilawal's security at Oxford may cost at least one million pounds each year.[21] In 2011, Bilawal returned to Pakistan[22] and became more actively involved in Pakistan politics, notably when his father went for medical care to Dubai in December 2011.[23] In May 2012, Bilawal Zardari stated that Pakistan asked the Interpol to issue a "red warrant" against former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in relation to his mother’s assassination case.[24] He made his major public speech on 27 December 2012, which marked the fifth death anniversary of his late mother, Benazir Bhutto.[25] In 2011, it was announced that Bilawal would be the next Tumandar (Chief) of the Baloch Zardari tribe as his father Asif Ali Zardari passed on the title to Bilawal rather than becoming the Tribal Chief himself after the death of his father Hakim Ali Zardari.[26] In 2013 Bilawal turned 25, thus becoming eligible to run for the National Assembly, as the Pakistan Constitution requires the minimum age of lawmakers to be 25. Asif Ali Zardari rejected the notion that Bilawal might run for the by-election seat but said that he will contest the next general election due in 2018.[27] Personal life Bilawal has two younger sisters, Bakhtawar and Asifa. His name means "one without equal".[8] Controversy Lothario-like lifestyle On the sixth of January 2008, the English tabloid "Daily Mail" published an article on Bilawal. According to the article He spent time "with his arms slung casually around two girls, one of whom declares herself as "bisexual" on a social networking website. Conversations he has with friends on Facebook make reference to being hungover, his friendship with a girl he calls "Boozie Suzie" and the joys of free alcohol".[28]The article picked up on one of his exchanges on social media and wrote "In one exchange, Bilawal announces his intention to "do as much work as possible, go to the Coven, turn up to my tute the next day hungover and with incomplete work."[29]The Coven is an off-beat club well known for hosting a regular gay night for students.[30] Kashmir Issue (2014) Bilawal, while addressing a party workers’ meeting, said that he would bring each and every inch of Kashmir to Pakistan, without explaining how he proposed to do that.[31] This drew sharp criticism and hilarity from India, who described the statement as outright "childish" and "immature" and "foolish".[32][33] Moreover, his statement against Kashmir got the Website of PPP hacked by Indian Hackers.[34][35] THIS IS GOTTEN FROM THE WIKIPEDIA
