Wow, what a lofty thought, dil bhar ayaa mera! You are wonderful Veena but think about our another celebrity who has been doing great service to the nation by building hospital and "doing" politics, Kaptaan ka kyaa hoga?

I believe Pakistan really needs Veena Malik. You need an one extreme to fight against another extreme. A woman totally covered from head to toe needs a another woman who is the opposite. But looking at the state of Pakistan, i will not be surprised if Veena turns into a woman totally covered from head to toe. :-)
