Veena gets curvy, says size zero doesn't exist in South
I had to put on five kg for the role because the script demanded so, says Veena.

MUMBAI: If Vidya Balan gained 12kg to play southern sex siren in The Dirty Picture, Pakistani actress Veena Malik claims she has put on 5 kg for the Kannada version of the film and that her dialogues have not been dubbed.
“I had to put on five kg for the role because the script demanded so. Size zero does not exist here in South. I was 48kg, now I am 53kg. Fourty per cent of the shooting has been completed,” Veena Malik told IANS.
Currently Veena is shooting for Dirty Picture: Silk Sakkath Maga in Bangalore.
“The Dirty Picture in Kannada has got no relation to the Hindi version. Yes, it is the story of Silk but it’s a different story. You will have to wait and watch. I am speaking in Kannada in the film. It’s not being dubbed.”
There is a constant comparison between Veena and Rakhi Sawant, but the Pakistani actress, whose first Bollywood film Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai sank without a trace, says being judged doesn’t bother her.
“No, it does not bother me because whenever any new thing comes, people tend to judge it or tag it. I am sure with time things will change. I am new here, so I am being judged. I don’t mind that because it is human nature,” she said.

Good luck veena. haters gonna hate. but you are the best. I like you because of your boldness & courage to stand against extremism that deeply rooted in our country.

Why does the article throw the subjective jibe that Veena is equivalent to Rakhi Sawat? Tribune should avoid being judgemental in reporting and avoid tagging people because of the dresses they wear or moral behaviour they possess.

Pakistani girls can be sexier than Indian girls, there is no doubt. But they need to be open minded like Veena and open up a little bit.
Look how open Indian Punjabi Sunny Leone is. She is now the most famous porn queen in the world, selling millions, setting new records.
But Pakistani Punjabi girls are just too repressed. Just open up and let it go. So everyone can benefit from the beauties.
