Staff Report
LAHORE: Hell has no fury like a woman scorned and after Shoaib Malik, another top Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Asif is learning it the hard way as he has been taken to court by a former girl friend over a financial dispute. While Shoaib has managed to get out of his marriage controversy with Indian girl Ayesha Siddiqui in Hyderabad, Asif is in trouble with his former girlfriend and actress Veena Malik. Veena has served a legal notice on Asif after two cheques he gave her to settle an outstanding money dispute bounced. “He gave me two cheques amounting to Rs 11.3 million as part of an agreement to clear an amount of nearly Rs 18 million that he owes me,” Veena said.
On the other hand, the fast bowler has accused Veena of stealing the two cheques that she has been claiming to have bounced. Asif on Thursday dismissed the allegation and said the cheques were actually stolen from his home by her. “The cheques she is talking about were stolen from my home in February and I reported their theft to the police and there is a FIR registered with the police.” Asif said he didn’t owe Veena a single penny and that she was taking revenge for his marrying another girl chosen by his family. “I don’t owe her a single penny. Why should I need to take money from anyone. I am a professional cricketer and I earn well. Even when I was banned I got payments from my IPL team,” said Asif who is presently attending Twenty20 World Cup training camp here. “I would advise her to also get married as she is getting older now and should be dedicating her life to better things,” he added. Asif said he was ready to fight the case from a woman ‘who is jealous of my marriage and trying to discredit and destroy my name’.
