The unusual outburst, punctuated by tears, came at a sensitive time in a country where Islamic fundamentalism is spreading and liberals are increasingly afraid to express their views.

“What is your problem with me? You tell me your problem!” an angry Veena Malik asked the Muslim scholar, who accused her of insulting Islam.

Earlier this month, a liberal Pakistani governor was shot dead for opposing the country’s harsh laws against blasphemy. In the aftermath, his killer was cheered as a hero among many in the public, shocking the country’s small liberal establishment.

Surely, we do not expect Ms Malik to don a burqa on the show?

One has to question the logic of some of our television anchors gunning for Veena Malik, as they have been doing of late ever since the Pakistani actress came on the popular reality show Bigg Boss in India.

Pakistani actress Veena Malik, who was an inmate in season four of the reality show Bigg Boss, has said there was nothing immoral about her relationship with Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel or any other member of the house.

“All criticism of my action is baseless, because it is being

hurled without knowing the facts,” Veena said in an interview with the Express TV Friday night.

“I belong to the entertainment industry and have not done anything that I have not done before,” she said.

The actress said she was not representing Pakistan on the show but only the entertainment industry.

“I know my limits. I did not wear any revealing clothes or kissed Ashmit or any co-star in the show,” she said.

Its Better to Leave Veena Malik Alone Dont Worry About Her, When Pakistani film and television personality Veena Malik went to India to participate in popular reality show “Big Boss 4″ she was doing a job – as an actress not an ambassador.
