Veena Malik, the stunning, talented and famous Pakistani actress, has received death threats from the Taliban, and experienced a “surprise attack” from a Mullah during her recent Frontline interview. Veena discusses the Frontline interview, honor killings in Pakistan, the death threats, her family and her plans for coming to America in this three part interview with Gabrielle Reilly.
Gabrielle Reilly: The Global Townhall is honored to have you Veena, not just because we adore you, but by doing so we also show the support of the world to the suffering of the daughters of Pakistan (or any country) that still practises honor killings and domestic violence.
Veena Malik: Thank you so much. I am so happy to be talking to you. I am speaking to you from Bombay today.
Gabrielle Reilly: Wonderful. I was out at dinner the out other night in America and you were the main topic of conversation.

How did you come to have such a strong and independent voice?
Veena Malik: I would say being a woman. When I started my career for the first time as a school girl I have been facing such people who attacked me for just being a woman. I belong to a society where it is a male dominant society. They call A woman a bad name for doing the same thing as a man. I did not know there was a trap set by that TV anchor in the interview. I did not know there was going to be a Mullah on the show. I went there to clear a few misunderstandings which people of Pakistan had about my show. But the Frontline interview only went like that because of the silly allegations that were made against me. I could not take that. I had to defend myself and I did that.

When I say Veena Malik, the first thing that would pop into most of our minds would be Big Boss. Her actions in the Indian reality show “Big Boss” have been dissected and discussed by millions of Pakistanis and has remained the major topic of conversation for countless TV shows, baithaks, hang outs and what not. Admit it or not, all this talk surrounding her has made her somewhat of a celebrity. She was actually in the top ten twitter trends worldwide after the Express News interview she gave and as ProPakistani first reported, she’s the first Pakistani woman to ever achieve this feat.
Her controversy sold and she became the most talked about woman in Pakistan, seemingly overnight.
Well that’s not it. The real news is that Veena Malik has become a world wide celebrity. In fact, these days, a video of verbal spat between her and a religious scholar on the Express News interview she gave (on her return from Big Boss) is circling around the web, including Digg, Huffington and various other notable places.
Entitled, “This woman is AWESOME. Pakistani Actress Defies Mullah Accusing Her of Immorality”, the video has English subtitles as well, providing this issue an international audience. Just to add to your knowledge, this video has been viewed more than a half million times in just less than one month.
