Dina Wadia's Timeline

1919
August 15, 1919
London, United Kingdom

Early days of Rati-Jinnah Marriage: Ruttie and Jinnah made a head-turning couple. Her long hair would be decked in fresh flowers, and she wore vibrant silk and headbands lavish with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. And Jinnah in those days was the epitome of elegance in suits custom-made for him in London. According to most sources, the couple could not have been happier in those early years of their marriage. The only blot on their joy was Ruttie’s ostracism from her family. Sir Dinshaw mourned Ruttie socially even after his granddaughter Dina was born.

Marriage Failed: Ratti and Jinnah loved each other till the end of their lives but unfortunately their Marriage failed just after few years. Ratti wasnt happy with the fact that Jinnah was working over-time and wasnt able to give time to his family. By mid 1922, Jinnah was becoming involved in Indian Politics, only to make him even busier and the relationship going to the lowest level possible.
Ratti Shifted to Taj: Ratti, a Cancer Patient shifted to Bombay’s Taj Hotel where she was taken care of by the hotel staff. Kanji, here close friend, continued to be her constant companion. By February 18, 1929 she had become so weak that all she could manage to say to him was a request to look after her cats. Two days later, Ruttie Petit Jinnah died. It was her 29th birthday.
