She is in the news again and this time with a bigger bang due to her alleged photo shoot for FHM India’s December cover. Though she is denying it and has every right to do so, considering anything and everything is possible in this tech-savvy world .However, the editor of the magazine is making relentless assertions that this photo shoot is real and has been done willingly by Veena Malik in real and not by morphing. The controversy is gaining firm grounds and Veena Malik has decided to take the magazine to court and has filed a lawsuit against FHM India for damages worth Rs100 million. She claims that the men’s magazine had morphed her clothes-on images into nudes for its December 2011 issue. Let’s wait and see which way the winds go and who is proved guilty and innocent.
However, there are certain things that bothered me, more importantly the hype given to the issue by people and media. The supposed act may be condemnable and can certainly not be appreciated but we should wait for the things to settle down first and before declaring a final judgment. As a nation, we have an issue from last 64 years that we are exceptionally good at concocting our own version of stories and passing judgments without even listening to the concerned person and without waiting for the things to unfold.
Just to increase the ratings almost all TV channels aired this story as breaking news. What is the breaking in this? Do they mind ‘breaking’ it to the people when hundreds of girls daily are raped in their very own homeland? Just because that won’t increase their viewership and ratings the way posing for an Indian Magazine by an actor would, nobody would even care to highlight it. Will someone mind telling me why sexual abuse, lack of educational facilities, killing in the name of honor, religion and culture isn’t treated as ‘breaking news’? Do we only have enough spare time to deal with Veena Malik’s issue? Aren’t there hundreds and thousand of more important issues which they need to be addressed and brought to focus than this useless piece of scrap.
Our country is embroiled in serious economic and political crises but media is busy inquiring the truth about the photo shoot. They are airing the news of Veena’s nude photos published by a magazine.
Now let’s talk about You and I. We are so good calling Veena Malik with all the bad names we can think of without even taking a peek inside our own selves. Every day millions of us watch pornographic content on internet and on TV and without considering it anything even close to being wrong, but as Veena Malik allegedly exposes herself, we begin wailing in the name of morality and religion.
Sheer hypocrisy! Anyways, let’s wait for the wrap up episode, meanwhile let’s sniff some more popcorns and gaze at Veena’s ‘photo’ a few more times with jaws dropped and eyes popped out!
I have never been lucky in love, says Veena Malik

Controversial Pakistani actress-model Veena Malik, who will be seen in the reality show ‘Swayamwar’, says, she has never been lucky in relationships but looking forward to find her partner in the unique show to go on air soon.
She has been in the news for her relationships with Pakistan cricketer Mohammed Asif and her closeness to Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel and about whom she candidly says that “we liked each other and we are good friends”.
Veena entered Indian small screen as a participant in the reality show ‘Bigg Boss’, last season. And now she is set to find a groom on national television with the show ‘Swayamvar – Veena Ka Vivaah’, where a celebrity finds his or her bride or bridegroom.
“I won’t lie about Ashmit. We liked each other and we got stuck there. Today we are good friends. I share my work related issues with him. We are really good friends now. I have never been lucky in love. My relations in the past never worked out,” Veena told PTI in an interview.
The first season of the show — ‘Rakhi Ka Swayamvar’ started in June 2009, with item girl Rakhi Sawant selecting Elesh Parujanwala, a Canadian businessman from Toronto.
In the Season Two, titled ‘Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega’, featured late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan’s son Rahul as the groom looking for a bride and who chose Dimpy Ganguly.
The third season of the show ‘Ratan Ka Rishta’ featured television actress Ratan Rajput who was looking for a groom and eventually was engaged to Abhinav Sharma.
And the fourth season of the show will see Veena looking for her ‘Mr Right’ on the show.
Ask Veena if she is apprehensive about the reception to this show in Pakistan, and she says, “People in Pakistan love Bollywood and there is no Indian movie that we do not watch. We love Indian culture also so much that we wear sarees nowadays for functions rather than salwar kameez.”
“It is an honour for a Pakistani to do such a show. It is only a section of people who had issues in the past. But that was settled and everything was fine now,” she said.
But did she ever dream to getting married on national television ? Pat comes the reply, “Not at all until the show came to me. When I was offered Swayamvar, I consulted my parents and you won’t believe, they were more excited than me. My father asked me to give one more chance as I might find my Mr Right.”
“I am a celebrity. Whatever happens in my life becomes public knowledge. I think that it is safe to get married on such a platform because you get to know some genuine people. The people who are fake slowly get eliminated from the show. We indeed have a lot of fans and followers who try to reach us desperately, but we do not know what the intentions are. Hence for me I think this is a good platform,” she said.
Considering the participants might not show their genuine side, Veena did have some apprehensions before taking up the show.
“I had that apprehension that guys might show their true colours and that was the reason that it took six months for me to sign this show. I am sure that the tasks given to them would be of some help. Even if I miss something, I am sure the cameras won’t. I think nothing could be more perfect than this platform,” she said.
About the qualities she would check to find her mate, she says, “Like any other girl, pure and unconditional love comes first for me. And second is money because if I say money is not important, then I will be lying and then comes good looks. There are several other things that I am looking for, but these come first.”
