Shahab might have considered it impolite to remind her of IM’s dismissal of Noon, Bogra, Suherwardy and Chaudhry Mohammad Ali. As far Nahid, years after the debacle of 1958, she still sounded bitter about the unexpected midnight visit, and the hostile attitude of the army officers who had delivered the ultimatum from Ayub. The former President appeared hard of hearing, and in poor health.
Ayub allowed the visit grudgingly, having made a sarcastic remark: “So she has come down to earth she wanted to be the Queen of Pakistan.” Shahab found Mirzas residing in a modest flat in Kensington.

Years later, while in London, Shahab saw the former first lady at a grocery store, approached her and asked to visit. Allama Iqbal’s son was surprised to see that the entire conversation was either in English or Persian missing was the national language - Urdu. Also present were Nahid and the US ambassador. Javed Iqbal was invited to lunch by IM in the Governor General House. IM accepted his plea but Gauhar was alarmed at the influence that Nahid had on her husband. He tactfully turned down the request on the grounds that the vacant plot was meant to be a children’s playground. Gauhar was aware that Nahid and the Iranian ambassador were friends. IM once asked AltafGauhar to allot a plot to the Iranian Embassy that lay next to it. Later, she asked Shahab to consider upgrading her husband’s ADC: Having seen Shah’s ADC- a General - she wanted the same in Pakistan. Once she complained that the press had failed to notice that while she was seen smiling in the pictures, the Queen was not. On a state visit to Iran with IM, Nahid appeared obsessed with Queen Surraya and would make every attempt to outshine the Queen.

“This is precisely the way he had approached me,” Nahid retorted. The embarrassed female guest tried to explain that IM was only looking at her sari. During one such gathering, when IM was seen getting too cozy with a female guest, Nahid burst on the scene and put a stop to it. Shahab has written of Governor General House parties where the high and the mighty used to have fun: Alcohol was freely consumed some would get drunk some would flirt with women and, Iskandar Mirza (IM), the Governor General, would enjoy the sight of people making a fool of themselves. The first lady did not want another pretty face in the Governor General House. “Her presence here can only create more scandals,” she told Shahab. Nahid Iskandar Mirza turned up in Qudratullah Shahab’s office one day and told him to get rid of Ruth Boral, an attractive private secretary, a leftover from Ghulam Mohammad’s time.
