Veena Malik denies nude photo shoot for FHM
Veena confirms she shot for FHM, but was wearing clothes, claims picture was morphed.
The cover for the December 2011 issue of the magazine. PHOTO: FHMINDIA.COM
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.

No bro. We dont value a woman by her sex life. We value a woman by the contribution she has done for society (Asma Jahangir, Bilquis Eidhi,Ruth Pfau, Fatima Jinnah) whos daughter she is( Benazir Bhutto) or her intellect( Fatima Bhutto, Maleeha Lodhi).
And you cannot compare this with what that Egyptian woman did because she was protesting against ‘virginity check’, what is Veena Malik doing?
Every absurd thing cannot be re-packaged as some one doing something honorable.

For all women praising Veena on this forum, when are they going to set examples themselves?

Not a fake. She didnt deny the ISI tattoo either. Google Veena Malik in India pictures and you’ll see she’s wearing bare minimum in public everywhere – it was only a matter of time before she went nude. Gauranteed there will be a video of her coming out soon too. Veena and all cheering her for being “bold” – there are better ways to show off your femininity – by being CLASSY and ELEGANT and INTELLIGENT- THATS sexy. And to top it all she does this in India where everyone will now say all Pak girls are like this – great message you sent to our young girls Veena – indeed a great “role” model. She obviously wants asylum in India. I hope she gets it. She should realize what kind of fame she is getting. She will regret this when she hits 40 and if she ever has kids I wonder how she will answer them. Ufff yuck!! Recommend

Who cares what she does or how she poses..she is earning a living, feeding herself and probably her family as well..are the sanctimonious amongst us going to pay her bills??..and I find the lack of “fattty lumps” near her underarms enough proof that she has been photoshopped..it’s a very un-Pakistani female actress body!!!

@Trick-or-Treat:
She clearly said on the interview on GEO that the ISI tattoo was there and then later she tried to deny it by saying “oh the photo was morphed”. Kabeer Sharma convincingly said minutes later on GEO that she actually asked for the tattoo to be made bigger and it was meant to be a “joke” because everything in India is blamed on the ISI. He also said that she was very happy with the pictures in emails and there was the whole FHM team there to verify it and they have video of the shoot also. If she wants to be a nude model – and theres plenty of them in the world then go for it Veena – the pic was obviously photoshopped but only to smooth out her body – she was nude through and through. Personally, leaving religion and all aside, I think soft porn or any porn destructs the minds of the young where young boys will think all women are easy sex objects and all women will think, hey, I can make a lot of money doing this. Thats the biggest problem with this whether she meant the ISI thing to be a joke or not – Pakistan is fighting a war with extremists and the ISI is leading the charge – to make a joke of an institution that protects Pakistan is not right by any means. A womans dignity and sexuality doesnot come from showing her body to the world – it comes from being intelligent and elegant. Like my mother told me after seeing some girls wearing little skirts and tops – what you dont see is more sexy than just parading around naked. Doesnt mean put on a burka – our kurtas, shalwar kameezes, with long hair flowing. That my friends is elegance and sexy. This whole act of hers was demeaning to Pakistan. She is in India where she should be a true ambassador of Pakistan and spread the message of love and peace through decency and talent – not putting ISI on her naked body.

@Prince:
“I am sure that these are real pics and veena malik must have taken the huge amount for this photo shoot”
Geo news asked the editor what Veena was paid and he mentioned thatin India there is no practice of paying for magazine photo shoots. In other words artists pose free in oder to get visibility – they are not paid bythe magazine. They also said that they had not paid Veena. When Veena was asked the question she was evasive and said this was confidential – though she has notbeen so secretive about theshow where she is going to be pai 45 million.
Recommend
“everything is possible for cheap indian Rupees.”
Actually she did not get paid a single rupee for this shoot. If you listen to the interview of Kabir Sharma gave Geo news he makes it very clear that in India models are not paid for magazine photo shoots and Veena wasn’t paid either

Showing as yourself being free does not mean to be naked. Being dressed in respectable clothes means freedom, from a moral, human and Islamic point of view. Being naked does not mean being free, nakedness stands for imprisonment. Nakedness means that a woman has no dignity, no respect for herself and her body. The Egyptian blogger and Veena Malik (IF the pic is real and not fake) have no respect and no dignity for their selves and their bodies. For those who argue this is right, muslims and non-muslims, tell me, would u all like to see women without clothes roaming around? Do u want to create an animal civilization and culture? Animals do not wear clothes. A human being’s private parts are not to be shown in public. All people who believe in one God should realize that these sort of actions will destroy humanity, corrupt our children and make the world a whole lot worseRecommend

This is impossible to understand that why media is promoting yellow journalism in the society?Whereas every one knows that any gentle man and woman don’t enter showbiz world especially in the modeling and film world because when any especially woman enters the film and modeling world the first thing she has to do,id est,agreement of doing every thing and wearing every type of clothes without any hesitation especially in Western and Indian showbiz world just for money then she gets success.If Veena has done so then this is not new and why every where is hue and cry because most of the female celebrities have published their nude and semi-nude photos in the newspapers and magazines.Just now forget it.

Well done Indians! You have been successful in stripping a Pakistani after having exhausted your stock of strippers of Bollywood. And for Veena, she has proved where she belongs. And for Dear Mj, if you are an Indian, I commend your comments since nothing better could have been said. Alternately, if you are a Pakistani, you are perhaps Veena’s Muhallah mate. Good to prove that. ISI is being misunderstood. This acronym means “INDIAN STRIPPERS INDUSTRY”. Of course, one needs to have good mind to know the correct words for the acronym.

These so called liberal extremists make me sick! If you want freedom, get freedom from corruption, learn ethics, be good to other humans etc, but why do you call drinking whine, nudity etc. freedom?

@Khoso: Disagreed! There must be a limit applied to freedom! The act of Veena will encourage others to do the same. Its like showing an advertisement of smoking weed.

He must be more liberal than you, yet he disowned his daughter.
