    She controlled the Kazakh media, making criticism of her father’s regime highly unlikely.
    Her relationship with her father had downgraded because she occasionally criticized him.
    At 40 years old, she already became a grandmother (2003).
    The political party she founded ended up merging with her father’s political party (July 2006).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She defended Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Borat, saying that the Kazakh government shouldn’t fear humor and that the closure of his website damaged Kazakhstan’s reputation.
    She is an amateur opera singer despite the lack of formal training.
    She is fluent in English, Kazakh, Russian, and Italian, and knows some German.
    Her former marriage with businessman and politician Rakhat Aliyev was a long one.
