    Jinnah had raised Dina alone after his separation from Rattanbai and her subsequent demise.
     
    He loved her deeply, but their relationship had become strained after Dina fell in love with and married an Indian Parsi named Neville Wadia at the age of 17.
     
    Dina and Neville lived in Mumbai and had two children, a boy and a girl, before the couple divorced.
     
    She is survived by her son and Wadia group chairman Nusli, daughter Diana, and grandsons Ness and Jeh.
