Veena Malik Is a popular Pakistani actor and TV personality, but her disclosure about Asif has brought her into the spotlight.
Is she a whistle-blower or a woman scorned? Only time will tell, but Veena Malik could well go down as the most controversial cricket WAG. Or a wannabe cricket WAG?
Her affair and fallout with Mohammad Asif were well documented — there were even reports that she and Asif had a secret wedding — but somewhere their relationship hit a dead-end. “I’m a bigger star than him in Pakistan,” she boasts.
Daughter of a retired army officer, Veena comes from Rawalpindi. She is a graduate in Sociology, Psychology and Persian. She passed out from FG College in Rawalpindi.
According to her website, she is warm hearted, friendly and outspoken and loves to go on long drives. “The sublime part of her life is that she always relies on her own efforts and exertions. By temperament she is mild and has touch of humanism,” www.veenamalik.com.pk notes.
In pursuit of a career, she moved to Lahore. Fluent in English, Veena is reportedly famous in Pakistan for her mimicry. She has acted in quite a few films, including an Indian movie, before she moved on to television. Mohbatan Sachian is supposed to be her biggest hit in what they call in Pakistan as Lollywood. Her website terms it as a milestone in her film career.
Currently she hosts a parody show called Ms Duniya in which she imitates politicians and celebrities. One of her famous acts, apparently, is her imitation of Sonia Gandhi. “It was well received. She has even mimed Michael Jackson. She has done parody of top Bollywood stars like Rani Mukherjee, Shilpa Shetty, etc,” says her PR manager Sohail. According to him, the show tops the TRPs in Pakistan.
She was introduced to Asif at a party in Lahore in 2009, where the pacer had apparently come drunk. After a none-too-pleasant beginning, they became friends but she never ‘liked his drinking habit’. “He has bad drinking habit. He used to take Ecstasy pills,” says Veena.
According to Sohail, their friendship blossomed after Asif got into troubles in 2009. “She helped him financially after he was banned for doping,” says her manager. But his drinking habits led to their split after a bitter fight. She even filed an FIR against him for not returning her money.
Till Sunday, Veena never openly talked about the alleged match-fixing side of Asif. Once she did, her phone has not stopped buzzing. “Not just the Indian channels, even CNN has interviewed her,” says her manager.
She may well now be right in her claim that she is more popular than Asif. Few can dispute her claim, after the current cricket scandal.
