Veena Malik says FHM photoshoot was a 'mistake': Indian media

Actor says she feels cheated as both her images were morphed by the magazine.

Model Veena Malik expressed regret over her involvement in a controversial photoshoot for Indian magazine FHM, Indian media reported on Wednesday.

A report by Zee News stated that Malik admitted she had made a mistake by doing the ‘topless’ photoshoot but categorically denied a ‘nude’ photoshoot. She said that she had covered herself during the shoot but her pictures were altered by the magazine. The actor said that she feels “cheated”.

“Yes, of course, both the images were morphed. My upper portion was covered with tattoos. I think if I could rewind this time, I would like to delete. I feel cheated,” said Malik while talking to the media.

The actor said that she believes everyone makes mistakes and so did she, but has learnt her lesson and wants to “move on”.

Malik was not only hit by vast criticism in Pakistan but was also disowned by her father after nude images of her appeared on the cover of FHM. A Muslim body in India also condemned the act and issued a fatwa against her for participating in an Indian TV show to look for a husband.
