Daughter of a Pakistani army officer, niece of a Pak POW in India – Veena Malik reveals herself to DT like you’ve never seen before…

Since your father was in the Pakistani army, were you conditioned from early on to think of India as a rival?

My uncle – my mom’s brother – was a jangi kaidi (prisoner of war) in 1971 in India.

And that phase, I remember, was emotionally tough for my family. Because of my army background, there were a few thoughts about the so-called enmity between India and Pakistan that were imposed on me. With the passage of time, people have understood that the relationship between the two countries has been strained due to political factors. As long as I get love in India, I have nothing to do with this enmity. It would be wise if we invest the money we spend on war, in education and eradication of poverty in our countries. I have great love for India, so why should I follow things imposed on me?
