Pakistani model and actor Veena Malik, who tried to seduce audiences with her oomph on Bigg Boss, is set for another stint on Indian television.

TOI has learned that Veena received offers from three different channels to anchor shows related to the ICC World Cup beginning in February, especially for matches in which Pakistan is playing, given her knowledge of the game, its controversies and her association with some players who came under the scanner for match-fixing allegations.

Confirming the news, Veena told BT, “I will choose one offer. I have had a good experience in the Indian TV industry and this will further cement my position in India. I’m also looking forward to re-establish my bond with the game.” However, since it was Veena who played the role of whistle-blower and pointed out the rampant betting that was going on in her country’s national side, she may be courting controversy again.

A TV industry source said, “Her relationship with the Pakistani speedster Mohammad Asif ensured Veena knew how the wheels in the dressing room were turning. There is a feeling that she can provide great insight to Pakistani cricket and she is a good-looking girl. She will be a new face on TV, too. We haven’t had a striking girl like Mandira Bedi in a while now.”

But Veena wants to avoid controversy, especially at a time when commentators will dissect every dubious Pakistani wicket or dropped catch. “Let’s see how my experience is. I will only talk about what I know about the game and try to make the coverage as exciting and interesting as possible,” she said.
