Şahzad is the child of late Sultan Ahmed khan and Mahfiruz Sultan and the twin sister of late Sultan Osman Khan. As her mother died when her and her brother were only a few months old, Kosem sultan took care of them and raised them as her own. When her twin brother ascended the throne after her uncle Sultan Mustafa abdicated she was married to Abdullah pasha, the governor of Bursa. Sadly, her brother was killed and soon after her half brother Murad came on the ottoman throne. Since then her and her husband haven't visited the imperial palace.
