Bakhtawar swings at Aladdin

Her first encounter with Aladdin is unknown, but like most in the bazaar she seems to be familiar enough with his thieving and flirtatious antics, being aware that he had no parents to raise him right. When Aladdin was 16, he met the little monkey Abu and caught him outside Bakhtawar's window, which angered the old battleaxe who then forced the two off her property with her trusty broom.
