Veena Malik dons salsa shoes
Controversial Pakistani actor Veena Malik will be seen grooving to salsa beats for a new ad for aphrodisiac product Stay On and says that the dance form gives her “exhilarating freedom”.
“Dancing is my passion and salsa is a new thing for me. I am quite nervous and excited about this project. Salsa is like good music, it elevates the spirit and it’s an exhilarating freedom,” Malik said in a statement.
The dance has been choreographed by Longinus Fernandes, known for choreographing “Jai Ho” for Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire and “Pappu Can’t Dance Saala” for Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Naa, and he is impressed with the way the actor has performed.
“Veena is crazy about dancing. She is a good dancer and has the skill to adapt a dance move and present it beautifully. She is a dancing star,” he said.
Meanwhile, Malik has a host of films in her kitty. She has finished shooting for Mumbai 125 km, Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai and Zindagi 50-50. Currently she is filming Rajani Ki Toh Lag Gayi and soon she will start working on Supermodel with Ashmit Patel.
She has also been signed on for the Kannada version of The Dirty Picture, about which the actor has said, “I am quite excited to be part of the film. I have heard the story and it looks quite interesting.” Adding that, “As the lead heroine, I will get a lot of opportunity to perform. The director has packaged the film very well with glamour, sentiments and all other ingredients.”

Hi, I am a salsa dancer myself, so I can relate to this story. Some of the comments to the store display a lot of raw discrimination. Very uncivilized behavior.
@Vodka:
sir, change the name " vodka". also a stigma in pakistan.
@p r sharma: Only 3 countries in the world were created on the basis of religion:
a. Pakistan - for Muslims b. Vatican City - for Christians c. Israel - for Jews
Therefore, if a person thinks that he or she can earn his / her living which is contrary to our Religion Islam in Pakistan, it is better that she should live in a country of dis-believers with modern ideas who do not mind it. Islam has a clear way of life and therefore we cannot allow such vulgarity in our society. This way of life has been clearly defined by our Holy Quran and it is necessary for every Muslim to follow. Therefore, there is no question of being orthodox.

just because of her life style many readers are criticizing her..The life style which orthodox people hate ( for religious reasons only as she being Muslim).. Unfair treatment.. Same orthodox people if provided an opportunity, will happily give their consent, to visit/stay/earn in western countries where the life style of natives are similar to that of Veena Malik !!!
@Dr. Saleem Siddiqi: Who are you to not welcome her in Pakistan?
@Waiting: Of course, I'm way up on the list.
Veena certainly has more morals than Ali Musa Gill or his father and their boss.
Veena runs ET. :)
thank you veena, you continue to be a STIGMA (i wish you knew the meanings of this word) on the name of Pakistan and Muslims as a whole. How low can any one stoop for money....
@Parvez: I assume the 17 readers includes you?
Is Veena Malik the real deal ? or is it the caffeine charged imagination of ET and the 17 readers of Life & Style - gossip section.......sorry also the 6 from across the border.
The only good news from Pakistan .....Veena Malik
What is ET's obsession with Veena Malik? :-/
