Veena Malik, the stunning, talented and famous Pakistani actress, has received death threats from the Taliban, and experienced a “surprise attack” from a Mullah during her recent Frontline interview.  Veena discusses the Frontline interview, honor killings in Pakistan, the death threats, her family and her plans for coming to America in this three part interview with Gabrielle Reilly.

Gabrielle Reilly: The Global Townhall is honored to have you Veena, not just because we adore you, but by doing so we also show the support of the world to the suffering of the daughters of Pakistan (or any country) that still practises honor killings and domestic violence.

Veena Malik: Thank you so much.  I am so happy to be talking to you.  I am speaking to you from Bombay today.

Gabrielle Reilly: Wonderful. I was out at dinner the out other night in America and you were the main topic of conversation.   In fact many people are talking about your Frontline interview and how well you defended yourself against the verbal attacks. You’re such a great ambassador for Pakistan.  How did you come to have such a strong and independent voice?

Veena Malik: I would say being a woman.  When I started my career for the first time as a school girl I have been facing such people who attacked me for just being a woman.   I belong to a society where it is a male dominant society.  They call A woman a bad name for doing the same thing as a man.  I did not know there was a trap set by that TV anchor in the interview.  I did not know there was going to be a Mullah on the show.  I went there to clear a few misunderstandings which people of Pakistan had about my show.  But the Frontline interview only went like that because of the silly allegations that were made against me.  I could not take that.  I had to defend myself and I did that.

Veena Malik Becomes a Web Celebrity

When I say Veena Malik, the first thing that would pop into most of our minds would be Big Boss. Her actions in the Indian reality show “Big Boss” have been dissected and discussed by millions of Pakistanis and has remained the major topic of conversation for countless TV shows, baithaks, hang outs and what not. Admit it or not, all this talk surrounding her has made her somewhat of a celebrity. She was actually in the top ten twitter trends worldwide after the Express News interview she gave and as ProPakistani first reported, she’s the first Pakistani woman to ever achieve this feat.

Her controversy sold and she became the most talked about woman in Pakistan, seemingly overnight.

Well that’s not it. The real news is that Veena Malik has become a world wide celebrity. In fact, these days, a video of verbal spat between her and a religious scholar on the Express News interview she gave (on her return from Big Boss) is circling around the web, including Digg, Huffington and various other notable places.

Entitled, “This woman is AWESOME. Pakistani Actress Defies Mullah Accusing Her of Immorality”, the video has English subtitles as well, providing this issue an international audience. Just to add to your knowledge, this video has been viewed more than a half million times in just less than one month.

They say there is some truth to every stereotype — that generalizations passed down as fact have some universal merit. Models and actresses and their intelligence levels. Pakistanis and their religious zealotry. Veena Malik and her supporters would vociferously disagree on all counts.

The Pakistani actress and model has made it beyond mere international headlines, into the realm of viral internet notoriety. As one of the stars of an Indian reality show called Bigg Boss, in which participants are placed in a house and filmed 24-hours-a-day for three months, Malik became the focus of criticism by a religious figure and a well-known journalist in Pakistan recently.

According to journalist Kamran Shahid, and the Muslim cleric he brought onto his television news show, Front Line, Malik had some questions to answer about her representation of Pakistan and Islam following her time on the Indian reality show, which ended with her eviction in December 2010, not long before a winner was announced.

Pakistani Actor Veena Malik a Diehard fan of cricket?: Pakistani artiste Veena Malik, who became a household name in India following her stint on reality TV show Bigg Boss, will now appear in two more shows on the Indian television.

“I have been a diehard cricket fan and follow the game religiously. I have been offered several projects but this is cricket   season. I am taking my passion for the game into account, which is why I have chose to do the show. I hope that my knowledge about the game and its players will attract my fans both in India and Pakistan,” The Express Tribune quoted Veena Malik, who is currently in India on a three-month visa, as saying. In her first ‘crick-o-tainment’ show that will hit the small screen on February 19, Malik will serve as the host with two panellists- Ketan Sharma and former Indian cricketer and national coach Anshuman Gaekwad. While Sharma and Gaekwad will highlight the technicalities of the game, Veena Malik, who has reportedly been paid 10 million rupees for this show, will bring spice and interest to the more colourful aspects of the players. “This show will be a mixture of cricket and entertainment. I will also discuss well-known like affairs of various cricketers,” said Malik. When questioned which team she would support for the World Cup 2011 campaign, Malik answered: “Of course I will support the Pakistani team in its matches. But I also have sympathies for the Indian team.” Apart from this, she will also participate in a programme titled “Bigg Toss,” in which 14 contestants will all live in a villa, where they will be divided into two teams and choose the players of their choice. Based on the performance of their chosen players, the teams will be given marks, and the team whose players perform better will win the show. “The participants will also discuss their favourite players but according to the show’s format, the participants can only choose Indian cricketers,” said Malik, explaining the dynamics of the show. Other participants of this show include Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh Bundhel and Bollywood starlet Rakhi Sawant.
