The Pakistani model caught up in a ‘nude’ FHM photoshoot row has vowed to prove her innocence to the father who disowned her over the scandal.

Veena Malik denied posing naked after saucy photos of the Bollywood star appeared on the Indian online edition of the men’s magazine.

Despite the actress insisting the shoot was “bold” but not nude, her father Malik Mohammad Aslam turned his back on his daughter.

In an interview at the time, he said: “I have disowned her.

“I have severed all ties with her and I don’t want her to have any share in whatever meagre assets I have until she is cleared of the controversy and pledges not to visit India again.”

Now, the brunette model has opened up about how the x-rated photos scandal has impacted on her relationship with her family.

Speaking to Alpha, Ms Malik vowed not to speak to her father until she has proved her innocence.

She reportedly said: “My father won’t speak to me on the phone right now. My mother told him I didn’t pose nude but he doesn’t want to listen.

“So I will not speak to him until I have proof in my hand that I did nothing wrong. Yes, I did a bold shoot but not a nude shoot.

The star, who caused a stir when she was reported missing amid the scandal last year, added: “My father knows the type of personality I have.

“He knows I’m a strong person with my own mind. But he’s really upset with me right now.

“But I will explain my side of the story when all this mess is over. He has asked me to quit show business many times but I can’t, I enjoy it too much.”

In the magazine’s cover image, Ms Malik is shown wearing no clothing, but with her arms and legs discreetly positioned to keep her covered.

She has the letters ISI stencilled on her arm, representing Pakistan’s powerful spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency.

Defending her decision to pose with the government logo on her body, Ms Malik reportedly told Alpha: “I wanted to give the ISI a positive image.

“If something bad has happened in India people always say, “the ISI is behind it”. I wanted to change that.

“They can think whatever they want, but I did it with a positive view in mind.

“To me the ISI is just an institution in Pakistan. I don’t even know what they do. It’s not a forbidden word is it?”

Ms Malik’s lawyer, Ayaz Bilawala, denied the nude cover photo was authentic and said Ms Malik was wearing underwear throughout the entire shoot.
