Soon after news broke about the death of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah's only daughter Dina Wadia on Thursday, messages of condolences started to pour in through social media.

People from all walks of life, including politicians and celebrities, took to Twitter to extend their condolences over the sad demise of Quaid's daughter.

PTI chief Imran Khan was among the first to express his grief.

PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi also issued a condolence statement.

PPP leader Naz Baloch shared an iconic picture of Dina with her father Mohammad Ali Jinnah and aunt Fatima Jinnah.

End of an Era

Though Dina never lived in Pakistan, she was seen as a historic figure not only because she was the only daughter of the nation's founder, but also because she was one of the few who had witnessed the bloody partition of 1947.

Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif claimed that Dina's death was the "end of the unique bond that existed cause of her illustrated father".

Lawyer and author of Jinnah: Myth and Reality, Yasser Latif Hamdani termed her death as "an end of an era".

Hamdani also insisted that Dina's story "be told" as not much is known about her personal life since she had lived a reclusive life.

Journalist Talat Hussain also expressed grief over Dina Wadia's demise, saying, "another window on history closes".

Former fast-bowler Shoaib Akhtar said that he was "saddened to hear about the demise of Quaid-e-Azam's only daughter".

Dina was born on the night between August 14 and 15, a fact that did not escape journalist Naila Inayat's notice when she tweeted her sympathies.
