Malik spoke to The Express Tribune exclusively after news started to float that her father was joining the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and had wished that she join the party with him.
"Whenever there is something wrong going on in society my blood boils and sometimes I wish to be a part of this system so I can change things," said the actor. She however added that, "At the moment I'm just concentrating on my acting and singing career, and travelling to know this world closely!"
Malik said her father had hoped that her career path would be that of a lawyer or a politician. She went on to say that her father has “great” knowledge of politics and is a “very good speaker and very intelligent man”.
Freedom first
When Malik was asked what issues she would focus on if she joined politics, the actor said “the freedom to live a life the way one wants to be.”
She said that food, clothes and shelter were secondary as most people in the country did not even have the right to think or speak their minds.
“We are forced to live our lives in a certain way, we don't have the right to question things forget the answers!”
Earlier in January, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Mushahidullah Khan had called for actor Veena Malik to be made a member of the Senate in the next elections, since this move would at least ensure senators attend Senate sessions.

Veena should join Shaikh Rasheed’s party since he always talk about her. BTW Yesterday she wanted to be a singer, today she wants to be a politician…
veena is far better than our politicians.

@Ch Allah Daad:
Even she can be a very good apposition. Unlike the current friendly apposition who did noora Kushti.
Miss Veena Malik what will you display in the politics before the world especially Pakistani nation whereas you have shown every thing thru magazines if you join Pakistani politics and which Pakistani political party will you join according to your own/personal thoughts.opinions and imaginations? And if you will join Pakistani politics then please never do so because Pakistani politics has been like you now-a-days.
o please leave politics alone, or in a decade or two we wouldn't any female politician wearing but glasses!
i agree with u @hellodrsoul:
she doesn't even know what is a primary need and what is a secondary need.so how can she will change the sociaty.
We already have enuf corrupt and characterless people flooding our political landscape.
Whenever there is something wrong going on in society my blood boils and sometimes I wish to be a part of this system so I can change things,hahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahaha,this is the biggest joke of century.Ms.Veena your blood boils when u seen something wrong in society & our blood is also boiled when we seen your nude pics in indian news.Firstly you correct yourself then the society.I think pakistani society is better then you.
My vote is for MS Malik for President of Pakistan, She will do better than Present president.
She is better than many politicians. After all she didn't killed any one and didn't plunder billions from poor people. So she is better than majority of politicians.
Food, (no) clothing, and shelter are the very reasons she pulls her desperate stunts. Desi liberals live in lala land. Delusional and disjointed.
@unbeliever: PTI have only wing and that is Opportunism and Popular politics.
She must become a politician a they are also shameless and can do anything to get some bucks!
Yesterday she wanted to be a singer, today she wants to be a politician..............tomorrow she may even decide to try her hand at acting.
@Mohammad Ali Siddiqui:
sir, PTI a left-wing party? did i read anything wrong here, or you cracked a joke there...
Another publicity stunt from a struggling artist !
Veena Malik will get 100% registered votes of men, 50% votes of women and 25% votes of above 18 children from her constituency.
Veena should tell to the nation as which political party she intend to join?
No religious-political party will give her the party ticket.
She only has the choice to join left-wing political parties, therefore PML(N) and PML(Q) will also not entertain her application.
Now left two left-wing parties. PPP and PTI. Between the two, I think Veena will prefer to join PTI.
Please do it now, and save the nation. They don't have bread so you must bring atleast the cup cakes!
You can expect anything in Pakistan. I bet she will win with heavy majority. We are really strange people.
How could she be worse than any other politician that you have now?
Veena should join Shaikh Rasheed's party since he always talk about her! I would vote for her unlike leaders like NS, IK & AAZ. At least she is honest, bold & tell the truth.
Okay... So why are this lady's opinions on politics, religion, gay marriage or any other subject (besides fashion I suppose) relevant and newsworthy enough to receive front page attention on the Tribune?
Is nothing else going on? Are all the people who are actually making a positive contribution to our society dead?
Tribune you are hurting your own legitimacy as a worthy news source by printing such material! Or maybe that's what you want?
@hellodrsoul
Its not unique to our society shall i start naming tabloids and gossip news by country :)
Vienna,July 2,2012 This girl is intelligent. I think she should not join Imran Khan´s Mullah Party. One of the best result of her joining politics would be young Pakistani men would be inspired to assert themselves.They indeed need the leadership of an inspiring angel. Taravadu Taranga Trust for Media Monitoring TTTMM India --Kulamarva Balakrishna
Imran Khan as Prime Minister and Veena Malik as opposition leader will solve our 99% problems.
I think this sums up her political philosophy...most likely she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth..."She said that food, clothes and shelter were secondary as most people in the country did not even have the right to think or speak their minds."
