KARACHI: Pakistani starlet Veena Malik met with philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi at his headquarters on Wednesday following reports that he had fallen ill.

"I have wanted to meet you for ages now. Philanthropists like you are the need of the hour for this country," Veena said.

The famous actor also jokingly offered to donate her kidney to Edhi, who needs dialysis twice a week.

"My family members and I have been regularly been praying for your speedy recovery. It's a big thing that you have done for the suffering humanity of this world," she added.

Edhi replied to Veena by saying that she should continue to pray for him, so that he can work towards helping other people.

"Do pray to the Almighty to allow me to do more work for the others," Edhi said.

“Me and Edhi are the ambassadors for human rights,” she said. “Even if Pakistanis do 0.1% of good for humanity, the country will be a better place to live in,” the actor said.

Veena added that she was in talks with the International Human Rights Commissioner regarding the role that she would like to play in helping the country towards improving health and education.

Karachi visit

During her five-day visit to Karachi, the actor also paid tribute to Abdullah Shah Ghazi’s tomb in Clifton. She said that she would also like to visit Quaid-e-Azam’s final resting place during her trip.

When questioned if she had hopes of meeting political leadership residing in the city, she said, "No, that's not in the schedule."

However, with the budget fast approaching she hoped that the government would make some incentive for an artists' welfare fund.

@Sick and Tired: Look into mirror and ask yourself if you are pure than her?You have no right to judge her whatever she done in the past.

sami | 9 years ago | Reply how hypocrite she is! from so many naked scenes, inappropriate photo shoots to this dupatta clad Parsa! What are her services to humanity by the way? How can she dare to compare herself with Our great Edhi Sahab? This is a huge insult for him. Pakistani liberals made a wrong person their inspiration. Asima Jahangir, Benazir, Malala, Shareem Obaid Chinai etc are true role models not a person like Veena Malik
