Indian magazine shoot: Veena kicks up a new storm
Pakistani model Veena Malik hit three sensitive issues with one picture – India, morality and the military. No stranger to controversy, she appeared in an objectionable pose on the cover of an Indian fashion magazine on Friday with a tattoo that says “ISI” written clearly on one arm. The editor of FHM magazine, Kabir Sharma, insisted that the picture had not been doctored and that the idea behind the tattoo was “to show that the ISI had a hand in everything” as was said in India.
Veena Malik said that the picture had been morphed and that she had done a “bold shoot” but not a nude shoot. “By this I mean that I was wearing modern clothes.” She said that the photo was supposed to be superimposed with an ISI tattoos. “I have never posed nude. I know my limits,” she told the media, adding “I will take legal action against the magazine.” FHM India’s editor, Kabir Sharma, said that the magazine could prove the photo’s authenticity.

Veena is smart and sexy. What's bad about showing her beauty? It's her will. Let's just see and enjoy.
Aaj se i will call her veena malik jee, as a token of my respect.
An act of totally NONSENSE.
Queen veena
@All Please don't waste your time on reading and commenting on such a senseless and baseless news and articles. Go ahead and do something good for your country
@Jeddy: "We should fight fire with fire. Pakistan should have similar magazines and make Indian actresses pose in them. Indians get away with this because there is more press freedom"
Pakistani artistes are dying to work in India. The reverse is clearly not true.
may be tatoo of 'ISI' on veena`s arm is conspiracy of raw.The magazine editor is agent of RAW.he HAS done this mission of RAW through Veena MALIK.
I am a great admirer of Veena Malik ji. I think she should play the female protagonist in a remake of Adam and Eve in 2012.
Veena Malik has kicked up a big storm in India too. Top Indian intelligence agencies ie RAW and CBI are watching her movements very closely suspecting ISI connections which was exposed on her veritable arm during the photo shoot and that makes her as a grave threat to India's security.
@BruteForce who says "I say India should have an open door policy to all Artists(especially good looking women) and highly skilled labour."
Really? So Veena is an artiste now?!!! She is an above average looking dummy.
If she can act, I can fly and you can be a little intelligent. Three things that won't happen ever!
You Go Girl! Don't let your countrymen (emphasis on men) tell you that they have a right over your body by linking it with as nebulous a concept as honor. Where the heck does the country's honor go when raped women are killed? Where is honor when rapists are set free by the Supreme Court and acid attacks are common? Where is our honor when women are treated like property and countless millions are forced or coerced into marriages? Where is our honor when women of minority groups are abducted, raped, and forced to convert? This is all fine and dandy in this land of the pure but all hell breaks lose if a woman dare show some skin! Pitchforks and self-righteousness is in ample supply but our priorities are completely skewed.
I think Veena does not want to return to Pakistan. India's gain is Pakistan's loss.
I love how the liberal brigades are having a feast ignoring all the ethical and moral codes of Islamic society
Yet another controversy to distract current NATO issue. Practice successful and entire news and social networking website are talking "VEENA".
Way to go media, no matter what we say but media has power to control nations.
Go GO GO babe - will get the FHM INDIA ! :)
You rocked Mumtaz Qadri Brigade ! Keep it up honey :)
As long as you are in India you can pose whichever way you wants. There is no ghairat brigades here to threaten you. Keep going
"she appeared in an objectionable pose on the cover of an Indian fashion magazine on Friday "
Stop being the morality police and judging veena,there was nothing objectionable about ther photoshoot.there is no need for behaving like judgemental ''holier-than-thou'' self-righteous people.it's her body,her life,she and every other person is free to make decisions in their own life.there's no justification for behaving like cavemen .
If this picture is doctored then Veena is within her rights to take legal action and so she should. But, if its not she should not be apologetic.
She is living in India now, not Pakistan.
I say India should have an open door policy to all Artists(especially good looking women) and highly skilled labour. Lets turn the 2 nation theory on its head.
We should fight fire with fire. Pakistan should have similar magazines and make Indian actresses pose in them. Indians get away with this because there is more press freedom
I just want to thank Veena Malik for this pic. She is free to write ISI, RAW, Mossad or whatever tickles her fantasy.
