Tribune Take: Veena Malik scandal, a publicity stunt?
Maha Amin, senior sub-editor of The Express Tribune's Life & Style pages, discusses Veena Malik's claims that the cover of For Him Magazine (FHM) is a fake.
Malik has filed for monetary damages against FHM to the sum of Indian Rs100,000,000 following their release of two magazine covers featuring the diva naked.
Amin says the blatant ISI references are a publicity stunt owned by Malik herself, adding that even in a bikini with a grenade in her mouth, the photo shoot was bound to cause an uproar.
The nudity aspect of the scandal being a publicity stunt seems like a far fetched idea, Amin adds.
Whatever the case, the nude covers have garnered ample attention for the little known FHM magazine along with press for the Pakistani actor as well.
