Bal Thackeray wants Veena to be sent back to Pak

The Shiv Sena supremo lashed out against Malik in his editorial in the party’s organ Saamna.

“Veena Malik is a blot on our country``s culture. Who is Veena Malik? Why is so much ruckus being raised about her?” The News International quoted Thackeray as saying.

“She goes missing for some days and it appears to be a publicity stunt
….sometimes she does obscene acts in Bigg Boss and sometimes she gets herself photographed in the nude for magazines,” he said.

“Veena is not such a big actress from Pakistan that we should go on praising her,” he added.

Thackeray also expressed his anger on other artists from her country performing in Bollywood.

“There is a trend in Bollywood to hire Pakistani artistes. Pakistani actors come to India and do not want to leave. People from Pakistan come to India to watch cricket matches and suddenly vanish. It’s difficult to say whether they work for terror outfits or not,” he said.

“On the other side, Pakistani government doesn’t even give visas to our artistes. There is a virtual ban on entry of Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle in Pakistan

“Dolly Bindra says, Veena Malik has ISI connections. If that is so, the person who gave her visa should be jailed,” he added.

He signed off this editorial saying that ‘we should clean up our country and send Veena Malik to hell’.

Veena Malik slams death threats from Pakistan

Veena Malik has hit out at the ‘stone age’ attitudes in her home country Pakistan over the death threats she received after she allegedly posed nude for the cover of FHM magazine. She claims the magazine airbrushed out the thong she was wearing. But her appearance has led to accusations

of betraying her country; her father has disowned her, and she has received death threats.

A text message sent to local journalists by ISI’s public relations machinery complained that the affair was ‘the height of humiliation for Pakistan, done by a Pakistani on Indian soil’.

Malik has all along accused FHM of morphing her photos. The actor and the magazine have been suing each other for 3 million pounds in a bitter exchange of lawsuits.

She has also hit out at the ‘stone age’ attitudes in her country and argued that no one is willing to hear her side of the story.

“If some mullah on the TV today says shoot the girl, they will shoot me. But the guy who removed my clothes using some technology, at least say something against him,” the Guardian quoted her as saying.

Never been lucky in love: Veena Malik

Controversial Pakistani actor-model Veena Malik, who will be seen in the reality show Swayamwar, says, she has never been lucky in relationships but looking forward to find her partner in the unique show to go on air soon.

She has been in the news for her relationships with Pakistan

cricketer Mohammed Asif and her closeness to Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel and about whom she candidly says that "we liked each other and we are good friends".

Veena entered Indian small screen as a participant in the reality show Bigg Boss, last season.  And now she is set to find a groom on national television with the show Swayamvar -Veena Ka Vivaah, where a celebrity finds his or her bride or bridegroom.

"I won't lie about Ashmit. We liked each other and we got stuck there. Today we are good friends. I share my work related issues with him. We are really good friends now. I have never been lucky in love. My relations in the past never worked out," Veena told PTI in an interview.

The first season of the show -- Rakhi Ka Swayamvar started in June 2009, with item girl Rakhi Sawant selecting Elesh Parujanwala, a Canadian businessman from Toronto.

In the Season Two, titled Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega, featured late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan’s son Rahul as the groom looking for a bride and who chose Dimpy Ganguly.

The third season of the show Ratan Ka Rishta featured television actress Ratan Rajput who was looking for a groom and eventually was engaged to Abhinav Sharma.

And the fourth season of the show will see Veena looking for her 'Mr Right' on the show.

Ask Veena if she is apprehensive about the reception to this show in Pakistan, and she says: "People in Pakistan love Bollywood and there is no Indian movie that we do not watch. We love Indian culture also so much that we wear sarees nowadays for functions rather than salwar kameez."

"It is an honour for a Pakistani to do such a show. It is only a section of people who had issues in the past. But that was settled and everything was fine now," she said.

But did she ever dream to getting married on national television ? Pat comes the reply, "Not at all until the show came to me. When I was offered Swayamvar, I consulted my parents and you won't believe, they were more excited than me. My father asked me to give one more chance as I might find my Mr Right."

Veena’s photos are authentic, says mag editor

Pakistani actress Veena Malik, who appeared in a naked photoshoot on a magazine cover with an ISI tattoo on her arm, has sparked a huge controversy.

Amongst the conservative Muslims, given the country she belongs to, her pictures have not gone down too well. They are enraged at her portrayal of nudity and her act as disrespect and mockery to country’s intelligence agency.

And now after the whole controversy has gone to a whole new political level, Veena has come out in open denying that she ever did a nude photo shoot.

“I have never posed nude. I have never done anything like that ever,” a daily quoted her as saying.

“My manager and legal team is looking into the matter. We will take legal action against them,” she added.

Magazine’s editor, Kabeer Sharma, said that nothing had been doctored, and that the magazine could prove the photo’s authenticity.

“We have video footage of the shoot as well as emails from Veena about how she’s looking forward to the cover,” he said.

Sharma said the reference to Pakistani intelligence was meant to be light-hearted, saying: “In India we joke about this... if anything goes wrong... we say the ISI must be behind this,” as reported by media.

Veena Malik denies posing nude for magazine

Veena Malik appeared nude on the cover of FHM magazine with an ‘ISI’ tattoo on her arm, but has been forced to deny it after it sparked outrage among conservatives in Pakistan - both for her nudity and the reference to the country’s intelligence agency. The controversial photo appears on
the December issue of the magazine.

The image, which was revealed on FHM India’s website, Facebook page and Twitter account simultaneously, shows her nude with her arms and one leg positioned to cover her breasts and pubic area.

On her arm are emblazoned the initials ''ISI'' - the acronym for Pakistan''s feared Inter-Services Intelligence agency - with the tag line, ‘hand in the end of the world too?’

But Malik has denied posing for the lads’ mag and insists that the photo is morphed.

“I have never posed nude. I have never done anything like that ever,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

“We have video footage of the shoot as well as emails from Veena about how she’s looking forward to the cover,” BBC quoted him as saying.

Veena Malik’s secret connection exposed!

Actress Veena Malik hit fame in Pakistan and abroad when she blamed cricketer and ex-boyfriend Mohammad Asif for match fixing. But she hit fame in India when she alleged that

Bollywood actress Neetu

Chandra was also involved with Mohammad Asif and match fixing.

There was a huge controversy on national television and Neetu’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar vehemently denied Veena’s allegations and termed her a “liar”. Veena and Dale were featured live on various television channels, fiercely debating the allegations.

As a result of all this hype and hoopla, both Neetu Chandra and Veena Malik were offered Bigg Boss. Veena accepted, while Neetu didn’t.

The Pakistani actress entered the Indian reality show and was best known and widely discussed for her close proximity to Ashmit Patel, another of the same publicist Dale’s clients.

Now after a month, Veena is being covered in international media and is looked upon as a girl who stood up for her rights in Bigg Boss. She’s being perceived as a fighter, for the cause of upliftment of women; similar to what Shilpa Shetty achieved with Big Brother when the same publicist Dale Bhagwagar was handling her PR.

What’s more! We thought Veena and Dale could never see eye to eye, as they were at loggerheads. But to our surprise, they were spotted together, happily chatting away at Ashmit’s birthday bash some time ago.

So should we say, there’s more here than meets the eye! When we questioned the publicist about this, he evaded the queries.
