Veena Malik talks work and controversies….

Veena Malik, during her last visit to Delhi, made her intentions clear saying she is here to stay and will be working in India till the time she gets good offers. Stating her desire to stay in here, she said, “I will be here till the time I keep getting offers and good work. People in India just love me and that’s the reason I am here. My work is appreciated and it feels good when you see yourself being loved by so many people. I am working hard on the South remake of The Dirty Picture wherein I’m playing Silk Smitha. I have gained weight for the movie; until a few days I was 48kg, but now I am 55! Also, I am learning Kannada for the film and am singing a song in the movie as well. I am exploring all aspects of cinema and this is just the beginning of my acting career.”

On being asked about her expectations from the film Silk Sakkath Maga, the Hindi version of which got Vidya Balan a National Award, Veena said, “Vidya was just superb as Silk in The Dirty Picture and she deserved the National Award for it. As an actress she is flawless. So it won’t be fair to compare her, and the role she played, with me because there is no comparison between the two of us.”
When we asked her about news of her cozying up to director Hemant Madhukar, Veena explained that they shares a good work relationship with him. She said, “We share a good working relationship as professionals and we’re not dating.”
Talking controversies, what about the flak she faced for the bold shoot she did for a magazine? “There are many people in my country, and in India too, who are ready with their criticism all the time. They will ridicule you when you do anything. And I did get a lot of criticism from there but I don’t think that they are a threat to my life. And if there are people who hate me, there are also others who love me.”
