Family

[edit]

Born to father Omar Kureishi and mother Zohra Karim, Javed Kureishi comes from a line of renowned individuals in Pakistani society. Omar Kureishi had Javed at the age of 33 during his first marriage with Javed's respective mother, Zohra Karim. Omar was a fiercely passionate man, exercising his wit and intelligence through literary mediums such as books, newspaper articles and oratory broadcasts. Described to have written many well-read books about the social and political ramifications that the Pakistan-India separation and conflicts had thrust upon his society with controlled “exasperation and anger”, he spent much of his writing career both uncovering and revealing the truth to the public regardless of the consequences. Omar also spent time in aviation and advertising. As chief of Pakistan International Airlines, Omar made long-lasting positive changes to PIA's infrastructure and public relations.
