Pakistani actress and model Veena Malik, who is currently in Dubai with her London PR team sealing deals for 2012, has confirmed that she will not strip for Hollywood.
“I would never strip for any industry. These are absolutely silly comments coming from the press and media that upset me and my fans. I am an actress and everyone in this industry does what the role requires. I will act according to my role but this doesn’t mean I will forget my values’,” said Veena Malik.
Veena says she is looking forward to the release of her debut item song ‘Channo’ in Nitin Manmohan’s – Gali Gali Chor Hai which hits TV promos in the next few days. She also hopes to make her mark in Bollywood in the year 2012.
“I have three films coming out this year, plus Swayamvar and other projects.”
Veena says she had offers from many international publications requiring a bold shoot, but she turned them down.
“I have my principles and I do what suits my personality and style.’’
According to sources, Veena has made amends with her father and will visit Pakistan to meet him and the rest of the family .
“Every father has the right to tell their child off if they think they are wrong and my father is no different. But now he has cooled down and we are totally fine. I will be seeing them all in a few weeks, and I am very excited about it,” Veena was quoted as saying.

To strip or not to strip is her own personal decision.why is our public so obsessed with the length of a woman’s clothes? especially our religious segment are fixated with women’s clothes,it’s their favorite pastime to attack women who don’t submit to their orders and their wishes,that is the bottom line,our male population can’t stand the fact that this woman is not obeying their commands,that she is not scared of them.
Recommend
stop being cavemen and stop judging girls by the length of their clothes.the people who obsess about whether a girl is wearing jeans or a burka,or whether her shirt is long enough need to start seeing women as equal human beings,not as their slaves to whom they can dictate what clothes to wear.

Will the media stop giving publicity to this you know what and focus on the important issues.Recommend
you are my inspiration Veena.

Which Surely Means the opposite? right

A woman’s worth shouldn’t be attached to her sex life or the clothes.this standard of judging women was made by men to keep women under their feet,under their control.ours is a patriarchial society where who’s ”good” ,who’s ”bad” is judged according to criteria made by men,for men,where they use these standards to maintain a stranglehod over women.

Veena is indeed a public figure and public wants to follow her acting and other antics. she is bold and beautiful and should make hay(and money) while the bolly jolly sun shines!!
In current turmoil and so much negative news, at least someone can put smiles on streesed faces. Keep it up Veena!! Remain Bold and BeautifulRecommend
The Great Great Values of Veena Malik ………….. Expressed quite efficiently in FHM.

“but this doesn’t mean I will forget my values”, Hey veena i think you forgot your values in INDIA, for what money and fame :S? And for the brothers who are saying that coming naked on news and magazines are personnel matter of a girl i think they are the biggest idiots because i am a Muslim and i do have to maintain a social islamic environment it is farz on us. I do sins but it doesnt mean that if someone is doing wrong i should appreciate it. Veana did wrong morally and culturally and i think it is a crime and these uneducated so called our stars are effecting our community. Education doesnt mean that you can speak english or you are stamped by higher education com, i think a person is educated if he/she knows about his/her social and personal duties and obligations.

I suspect that no one in Hollywood has ever heard of you let alone asked you to strip for a movie. These kind of statements by actors are self promoting publicity stunts.

This woman is a joke; literally, and an attention-seeking desperate one for that. However, we as a nation need to stop obsessing with her and her antics and whatever. And as a rule, we need to stop worrying about the lengths of clothes that our females (regardless of whether they’re politicians’ daughters or showbiz people or sportswomen) wear when they go abroad; its their business, not ours. We have far bigger problems, and as far as our ‘image’ goes, it gets distorted far more by our national issues than such gossip.

She is so happy in India and giving so much of bad name to Pakistan. Our Govt. should simply cancel her citizenship and let her be happy in Bollywood or Hollywood. Btw, what she does in her drawing room is her own business, but when she does it on a public platform whnile being labled as the “Pakistani Actress” then it becomes our business.
