Like other Pakistani celebrities, Veena Malik too has a website. It is veenamalik.com.pk, and not veenamalik.net, which claims to be a fansite, and certainly not veenamalik.com, which has nothing to do with the film/TV star.

Sena leaders claimed the channel had sent a letter of apology to Sena chief Bal Thackeray following which it was decided to withdraw the blackout in Mumbai and Thane.

The Sena had launched an agitation against the channel for featuring Pakistani artistes and blocked the channel for two days in Mumbai and Thane.

Close to 2,500 cable operators had complied with the Sena “request” not to air the channel, arguing Pakistan had similarly blocked Indian channels.
