Veena Malik denies nude photo shoot for FHM
Veena confirms she shot for FHM, but was wearing clothes, claims picture was morphed.

Veena Malik has stirred controversy in both Pakistan and India — and this time she is not even involved. An alleged photograph of the actress posing nude appeared on the Indian online edition of the international monthly men’s lifestyle magazine FHM on Friday, but her PR manager confirmed to The Express Tribune that the photograph is fake.
Shot with clothes on!
Speaking via telephone on Express News, Veena Malik admitted she had shot for FHM magazine, however the shoot was with clothes on, and none of the poses appearing on the cover were given by her.
She claimed that the picture on the cover of FHM was ‘morphed’ and that she would be consulting her media adviser and lawyer before taking any action.
“People must know that I am an actress, and any one can take my picture and morph it.”
Earlier, when contacted by The Express Tribune, Veena Malik’s PR Manager Sohail Rashid said Malik has not done any such photo shoot.
He added that Malik was unaware about the shoot, since she was currently busy shooting for two movies in India.
Rashid said that she has instructed him to approach their lawyer, on December 3, to deliberate a legal course of action with regards to the matter.
“Veena knows her limits. I know we have done quite bold stuff/shoots, those which are available on our website, but she knows her parameters. Yes we need to be bold for international magazines, but she won’t cross her limits,” Rashid added.
The picture – which was posted on FHM India’s website, Facebook page and Twitter account simultaneously – was cited as the cover of the magazine’s December 2011 issue.
The actress was shown naked, brandishing an Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) tattoo on her arm, linked to text that says “hand in the end of the world too?”.
The magazine cover made waves online, with many speculating over the authenticity of the photograph.
A Times of India report quoted Malik while speaking during the photo shoot:
“It’s tough standing on one leg, while trying to cover up with one hand and running the other through my hair – you guys are going to pay for this.”
In a new Times of India report, Veena has been quoted denying she has posed nude for the magazine. She says the photographs have been morphed.
“I have never posed nude. I have never done anything like that ever. My manager and legal team is looking into the matter. We will take legal action against them.”
“The picture has been morphed. Its not me. Definitely not.”
FHM India Editor Kabeer Sharma denies her claim and says the magazine has proof of the photo shoot.
“The photo shoot was done in Mumbai on November 22. We have a video of the photo shoot.”
“I also have an email from Veena in which she says she has seen the photos and is happy with them, and that she’s looking forward to seeing the cover.”
Not only has the picture got the online community talking, Pakistani diva, Meera – who had earlier called Veena a “cheap girl” – was active on Twitter commenting on the picture:
TheMeeraJee Hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa OMG
TheMeeraJee what the f……………………
TheMeeraJee Completely mad woman
This is not the first time that FHM India has been accused of manipulating photographs.
According to reports, Indian actress Kajal Agarwal had accused the magazine of “morphing” her pictures taken at a photo shoot for the September 2011 issue.

veena has every right to pose how she wants.maybe she’s showing our moral hypocrisy where we value a woman by her sex life.maybe she feels she has got nothing to be ashamed of her body,that the female body is not a source of sin and shame.i for one ,will not condemn her.the egyptian blogger did it recently and her reasons were valid.there is no need to attach a woman’s value in society by the amount of clothes she wraps herself into.

I look forward to other Pakistanis gaining the freedom to bare all if they wish to do so.

brave,brave girl veena.I don’t know why you put the ISI tattoo on your arm,but apart from that it is a good symbol by you that attaching a honour to a woman’s body is unfair and unjust.why must a girl be the repository of a family’s or nation’s honour?

Insane, cheap Indian stuff, Hope Veena will cope with it, that is part of working overthere, some part of their society is a mini copy of US, absolutely no limits, everything is possible for cheap indian Rupees. Funny part is that their judicial system is even more slow and corrupt than the pak one, so she will get even in 2020 – maybe ! I like her very much and her crossing the limits and bounderies. She is intelligent beyond normal and expressess excellently the duality of pak women: Mostly humble, but in need confident and strong, ready to to do what is required.

If she never did this, then this is awful for her and the magazine should apologize. I don’t think they realise the harm this would cause. However Veena is, she knows her limits and I don’t think this is something she would do. The magazine has already faked pictures of other acttresses.

If you look at the past covers of FHM – you will clearly notice that the sub headings on the side given in this picture clearly don’t conform to the format which FHM follows – the style, the font are very different. The official FHM India website also has not put up this cover. Why then the Indian media is reporting over it so much without even confirming its authenticity?
Recommend
Come ON guys… are you serious. You wrote an entire article without verifying anything ?!?!?
I spoke to the editor of FHM India, and he says he has no idea who this guy is. Also, there is enough proof to confirm that its 100% Veena Malik so please dont tarnish the trust of your readers. !!!

So are you, Zaid Hamid … but we see you on TV and everywhere. So let her do her bit. (That is IF she has done it. The tattoo is certainly painted on later. Her neckline is a little crazy (not a very good job, if someone was trying to enhance it – really) and could be right or wrong.
Recommend
“ISI” tattoo is just a representation of deep Indian obsession with this Pak institution since the establishment of such.

in a country where you have the likes of mumtaz qadri no sane woman would ever do sth like this. you dont even need to analyze this pic to see if its doctored. it cant be anything else.

Incase, this picture is fake, Veena Malik must take FHM to court and rest assured Indian courts would give her full justice, but if she doesnt it can be taken for granted she did shoot this photo session. Moreover, the editor claims that he has the video shoot which he can easily upload on You tube if Veena tries to defame the FHM.
Recommend
people need to learn to mind their own businessRecommend
No idea if this fake but FHM has a video of this shoot as well. If they release it then how will Veena prove her innocence? Let’s not waste our time on her. It’s her life. We should learn to ignore. I hope our media doesn’t drag this issue. They love controversy. I can’t stand those anchors discussing it. Imagine Kamran Khan and Hamid Mir commentating on it. :)
Her father is really angry though. According to the media reports, he even asked the judge to file case against her.Recommend

Tribune should investigate a little before publishing such news. Taking lead in making news is really not important. Authenticity is the most important things. This is fake picture. If you look at the belly part in the full picture, it is made up.

It is not fake Pic, She is very bold girl and earn the moneyRecommend

Well its not Veena’s picture, thats for sure. Just look at the difference in Veena’s physique and the one on the Cover, Veena’s physique has more broad shoulder and quite thick arms, so i dont think its Veena and ofcourse when, FHM, indian magazine can morphe Kajol’s pics than Veena is ofcourse a piece of cake for them.

what is this???? she should sue them if this photo is fake…

Wow im surprised by these comments. I dont know if the picture is real or fake but how can people think that a women baring her body is an advancement for women’s cause and liberation.

btw its probably fake.
If you go to fhm indias site you will see no Indian girl has posed with so little clothes there(ie totally naked).Recommend
this behavior needs to be curbed…this social and moral free variable-opting to crumble the very foundations of what we as a society have chosen to abide by. Brainless and absurd, these ppl, have no idea what they are talking about and just because they ‘think’ something is right they voice their ideas on public forums.
As far as the veena issue is concerned…IF she has done something like this and the indian fhm cover for december is as the picture above, veena would be sued in the pakistan court according to the hudood ordinanc.
If, however, this is not true, and its a hoax, it just goes to show the cheap and scheming indian mind, ….just another attempt to start a religion debate and another scene on the tv with veena crying to gain sympathy from pakistani audience being questioned by a shocked religious mass.
In my opinion this picture is fake, trick photography. I mean i would die for pakistan but why would i tattoo isi on my arm…. Recommend

A simple question to those who are appreciating the picture and associating it to the courage and boldness a Pakistan woman should represent around, “Why not become a pioneer of boldness and liberalism YOURSELF first?”. Go and pose nude for the magazines and papers. Obviously you would also be interested in somekinda money then. Stop being a hypocrite yourself.
