Veena Malik to seek forgiveness during Ramzaan

Veena Malik will be appearing on a show ‘Astaghfaar’ during the holy month of Ramzan to seek forgiveness for her sins.
When the promo for her show made the rounds on the internet on Monday evening, a large chunk of internet commenters were appalled.
“I am Veena Malik. In the entire month of Ramazan, I will seek forgiveness for my sins and yours, with you on Hero TV,” the Express tribune quoted her as saying.
The producer of ” Astaghfaar” explained that after Veena approached the team for a Ramazan show, a poll was conducted online.
The poll asked the question: who is the sinner of all sinners? The options were siyasatdaan (politicians), police walay, Veena Malik and gharib awaam (the poor).
For those who think Veena is a brave voice in a country where such voices are stifled, “Astaghfaar” may be disappointing.
As the idea of religion in Pakistan is fast becoming idealistic and almost elitist, Veena’s Ramazan transmission is going to open some space, pushing boundaries far enough to take away religion from the hands of the selected few.
Ramazan shows: Will you tune in to Veena, Maya Khan or Aamir Liaquat?

As the arrival of the holy month of Ramazan nears, promos for shows on different networks are out in strength as the ratings war intensifies. Brace yourselves – this year your TV screens will be taken over by celebrities, sportsmen, controversial anchors and talk show hosts during Iftar time!
First up is everyone’s favourite actor and model Veena Malik. The controversial actor will be appearing on the Hero TV show “Astaghfaar”.
A stern warning to “seek forgiveness for your sins” and visuals of hellfire are followed by a very emotional Veena, who in a sultry voice tells us that she will be seeking forgiveness for our and her sins throughout the holy month. A lone tear drop makes an appearance by the end of the promo. Very emotional.
Needless to say, we’re excited about seeing Veena on the show.
Remember Maya Khan? Yes the one who raided the public park and ran after couples asking them about their marital status. Good, because Maya will also be appearing for Iftar transmissions on ARY Digital alongside TV host Dr Shahid Masood on the show “Sheher-e-Ramadan”.
Maya says:
Hum banain gay sahara eik dosray ka, kyoon kay humay hay ehsaas apnoon kaa.
We know you care, Maya. Who knows what she has in store for the viewers this time.
The legend is back. Dr Aamir Liaquat of “Aalim Online” and Ghalib film fame is also back on Geo. His return to the network was celebrated in a song by the host himself and Mr Jeem, Geo’s mascot.
The good doctor will be hosting the show “Pehchan Ramzan”.
And then of course there is Lala. Everyone’s favourite cricketer Shahid Afridi will be on Express Entertainment this year, appearing on the show “Mehmaan ka Ramazan”.
Iftar time just got a little more interesting.
