The irrepressible Veena Malik is back in Mumbai

Veena Malik is back in Mumbai, and this time for a good 45 days, to shoot for two Bollywood films. She's naturally very excited about her debut in Hindi cinema and has rented a seven-star apartment in suburban Mumbai, giving us an indication that she plans to settle down in the city.

But this news has not gone down well with certain people from the film industry. Actor Raza Murad, who is also the chairperson of the joint settlement dispute committee of the Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA), is extremely vocal about Veena's presence in India.

Voicing his opinion, Raza Murad said, "I'm sorry to say Veena Malik is the Pakistani counterpart of Rakhi Sawant. She keeps flying between the two countries as though she's commuting between Bandra and Malad. But for us Indians it's easier to go to the moon than visit Pakistan."

"Sometimes she's here for shows. But I've also seen her flying down to Mumbai to feed cake to Ashmit Patel on his birthday, " added the actor.

When he was reminded that Mahesh Bhatt initiated the process of getting Pakistani artistes into India, Murad said, "I respect Bhatt Saab's gesture. He calls Pakistani artistes with good intentions. "Lekin saamne wale ki neeyat bhi to achchi honi chahiye, " he remarked.

Friendship between India and Pakistan has to be bilateral, he said. He asserted, "We're never invited to their country. Even if we are, we never get the visas on time.

Hospitality

"Sportspersons, mediapersons and entertainers from Pakistan thoroughly enjoy our hospitality. But the warmth is totally one-sided. They make crores in India. But do not disclose their income and head straight to the airport after making their money and abusing our hospitality."

Recalling his work with Pakistani actor Zeba Bakhtiar in Randhir Kapoor's Henna, he said, "She was treated so well by us. Others like Madame Salma Agha and Mr Adnan Sami who are staying in India for years, are enjoying every facility given to an Indian citizen. Forget Atithee tum kab jaoge, our attitude is, Atithee tum kab aaoge."

Pampered Veena

Meanwhile, Veena, who is currently in the city, revealed that Ashmit Patel is sending home-cooked khana to her residence. "Ashmit has a very good cook and he knows my food habits. He eats healthy food just like I do, the actor maintained"

Actress Veena Malik aspires to work with Bollywood biggies soon

Veena Malik did manage to grab Salman Khan's attention as she gyrated on Sheila ki jawaani when in the Bigg Boss' house.

The actress who is currently working on her debut Hindi film 'Daal mein kuch kaala hai' with other controversial actors like Raja Chaudhary and Shakti Kapoor spoke about her dream co-stars.

Veena stated, "I'd like to work with the Bachchans and Khans soon. I think they are extremely talented and enormously good looking actors."

Speaking on Ashmit Patel, the actress said, "Ashmit and I have been offered a couple of films but we are waiting for something really good to come our way. We are waiting for the right script. Our fans are waiting for us to come together on the big screen and it shall happen soon."

Veena-Ashmit fans had even suggested Pooja Bhatt to cast the two in Jism sequel which Pooja is planning to make.

Lets see what lies ahead for the Pakistani seductress.

Veena Malik’s dramas beat all records

Believe it or not but she has literally broken all records of being fake and drama queen for the sake of desperate publicity and fame. Any guesses, whom I am talking about! Fashion Central reports.

Yes, it’s none other than Veena Malik, who lives in Pakistan and never has bothered to give even a little charity to people who died and became homeless in flood last year! And never has shown her sad sentiments about the current miserable situation in Karachi! But oh-so-worried about Mumbai blasts!

Veena Malik says, “India is my second home, I belong to India,” and adds: “I heard about the blasts early on because my friends in Mumbai texted me about this gory act. I was so upset and I had tears in my eyes when I heard about the Mumbai blasts. It is such a despicable, cowardly and deplorable act, which can’t be condemned in words.”

I wonder if these are real sentiments or she is just faking up to make her position in India! No doubt the horrible act can’t be condemned in words but showing off sentiments to such an extent seems absurd and disgusting!

Neither Ashmit nor I believe in marriage: Veena Malik

Contrary to the reports from Pakistan, Veena Malik has not been injured in a road accident

In an accident involving the Pakistani actress Veena Malik while she was travelling from Islamabad to Lahore, the actress has declared herself to be unhurt, opposing the claims of the Pakistani media.

According to Pakistani media reports, Veena was recovering in a hospital.
"Not true, " said Malik, "Miraculously, I didn't get a single scratch. Although the vehicle is completely mangled we managed to escape unhurt. I think there is a guardian-angel watching over me."

The incident, however, has resulted in one good aftermath.
Her boyfriend, Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel and she are together again. Ashmit has been on the phone constantly inquiring about Veena's well being, specially since the reports in the Pakistan press were fairly alarming.

No wedding bells
Prodded about marriage, Veena chuckled, "Neither Ashmit nor I believe in the institution of marriage. The day marriage makes sense to us, we will take the plunge."

Veena returns to Mumbai in two weeks. "I've accepted three movie projects and will talk about them when I return to India."

Veena Malik 'out of danger'

Actor and model Veena Malik’s condition is said to be stable after she sustained injuries in a car crash on Monday night.Malik suffered injuries on her shoulder, arms and legs and is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Lahore. A source close to Malik quoted her mother as saying that Malik’s “condition is out of danger and she is stable now.”

The accident took place while Malik was travelling to Lahore after meeting her family in Islamabad. The accident took place eight kilometres away from Thokar Niaz Beg.
According to Malik’s manager Sohail Rashid, Malik was driving a black Honda City. “There were two guards and two other people with her while she was driving herself,” he said. “A speeding vehicle overtook Veena Malik’s car, hit its side door and went ahead. The car spun out of balance and collided.”
One of the occupants of the car, who was seated next to Malik, said, “It seems as if they deliberately hit our car. We couldn’t see their faces. They hit us and saw our car colliding. They would have stopped had they hit us by mistake.”

Malik was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state. “The family does not want to disclose her location right now for security reasons. The doctors say she is stable and will be discharged soon but they have advised rest since she has suffered a mental shock,” Rashid told The Express Tribune.
“The doctors are hopeful she will be discharged in a day. She will take some rest and then announce herself about her plans,” a family member told The Express Tribune.

While Malik often travels in a black Prado, she was using the Honda City for this trip. “Due to security concerns Veena Malik wasn’t using her Prado because many people recognize it,” Rashid said.
When asked about the legal formalities of the case, Rashid said that they would lodge a First Information Report of the incident but were waiting for Veena Malik to recover. “We will definitely lodge a case but Veena should recover first. She is out of danger and stable but doctors are advising her to rest for some time. If someone has deliberately hit the car then will register the case accordingly,” he said.

Malik was also set to travel to Norway to participate in the Oslo Freedom Forum, a unique global affairs conference that takes place in Norway every year. This year some 200 people who have changed, are changing or could change the world from across the globe have been invited at the event. Mukhtara Mai has also been previously invited to the event. However, Malik had to turn the invitation down due to the demands of her schedule.

Malik, who has acted in Pakistani films and on two popular political satire shows, became a household name after her relationship with cricketer Mohammad Asif surfaced. Her participation on the Indian reality television show “Bigg Boss” and subsequent stance against her critics increased her popularity in India and Pakistan.
Malik is not the only star from the entertainment industry to have suffered a mishap on the roads. Pakistani musician Rahat Fateh Ali Khan also met with a road accident recently when he was on his way to Chicago from Detroit.

'Cheap Veena Malik is denigrating Pakistani women'

Pakistani actress Meera is not happy with the way her fellow actress Veena Malik conducted herself on Colors' reality show "Bigg Boss 4" and accuses her of portraying Pakistani women in poor light.

"Veena Malik is acting very cheap. The way she presented herself in front of Indian audiences is not right. She is denigrating the image of Pakistani women. This is not how women in Pakistan are, " Meera, who is in India to shoot for diector Faizal Khan's Hindi movie "Om Allah", told in an interview.

Her liplocking courted controversy after people in Pakistan raised objections and she was apparently fined for this. But right now she feels Veena has crossed all limits.

"If you come over to Pakistan, you will see how sensible and how cultured Pakistani women are. They respect their family values and are not how Veena has portrayed herself, " said the actress who herself became
controversial after her kissing scene with with Ashmit Patel in her Bollywood debut "Nazar".
Veena came into limelight after her name popped up in match-fixing allegations against Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif. She was the cricketer's girlfriend. She then entered the "Bigg Boss" house and her intimacy with Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel caused quite a stir, sending the TRPs soaring.

Meera alleges Veena's behaviour is a lousy way to garner publicity.

"She's doing all this because she is hungry for fame. She has no self-respect and is ready to do anything to become famous, " Meera said.

"She's like that even in Pakistan. She tries to copy everyone. She can never be her own self. This is not the right thing to do as there are many other nice ways to become famous. Why stoop down to cheap tactics, " she asked.

Meera claims she was also approached to be a part of "Bigg Boss" twice, but she refused it.

"I was approached to be the part of the show before and even for this season but when I came to know that Veena will also be a part of it, I refused, " she said.

Apart from Veena, the fourth season of "Bigg Boss" featured well-known Pakistani cross-dresser Begum Nawazish Ali.

After "Nazar", Meera featured in another Bollywood moive "Kasak" with Lucky Ali.

After doing "Kasak" in 2005, this is Meera's first Bollywood movie in five years.

"After 'Kasak', I went back to Pakistan. Later my parents did not allow me to act here as I was too young and they thought I might just fall for someone here (India) and get settled permanently, " she said.

"Moreover, the tension between India and Pakistan also kept me away. But now I am back and hope to sign more Bollywood projects, " she said.

Back home, Meera has been actively involved in charity work and has been working with former cricketer Imran Khan to raise funds for Pakistan's flood-affected victims.

"We would like to rope in Rani Mukerji for helping us to raise funds for the flood-affected victims in Pakistan. I plan to meet her during my trip here, " she said.

She has also expressed a desire to do charity work with Salman Khan and his Being Human organisation.

Veena ‘Ki Jawani’ in ‘Bigg Boss’ grand finale

Veena Malik will perform on Tees Maar Khan’s popular song “Sheila Ke Jawani” in the grand finale for which the arrangements have been finalised, a source close to the actor told The Express Tribune. The administration of Colors TV, a private television channel that runs the reality show, has taken the decision to turn Veena Malik into “Sheila” of the mini screen since she was the most suitable contestant of the show to perform on the song, the source added. The song originally stars Katrina Kaif and is doing great on the charts.
While the rumour is abuzz, Malik and her manager Sohail Rashid have neither confirmed nor ruled out the possibility of Malik performing in the finale. “She has definitely been very popular during the show. She was nominated seven times to be evicted but the Indians voted for her six times which means she has a large fan following over there. Considering this fact, this it is quite possible that she’ll perform but I cannot confirm or rule it out [at the moment],” Rashid told The Express Tribune.

He further said that some negative rumours have been circulating about Malik but they were not true. “There is only one Indian website which is promoting false things to defame her. The activities of the contestants of “Bigg Boss” are recorded round the clock and the show’s duration is hardly an hour. So things are omitted and many things are being quoted out of context. She had been offering prayers in the house but nobody mentioned it. She discussed politics with her fellow contestants but few people ignored that and propagated her statements in a twisted way. The things that contestants did at the show were part of the game and the show must be taken as a game,” Rashid added.

Malik, who is currently in India, told The Express Tribune that false reports were being circulated about her, “I didn’t drop my towel before the camera. It’s just a rumour.” The actor said that the she was not intimate with any fellow contestant. She further said that she had been wearing shorts but the other contestants including Sara Khan and Anchal had done the same.

“She had been promoting the Urdu language at the house of ‘Bigg Boss’. A lot of people are using Urdu words in India just because of her. She promoted our language and did nothing wrong,” Malik’s manager said defending the actor.

Sameer Soni should apologise
Sameer Soni, another participant of “Bigg Boss”, who reportedly said he wanted to slap Malik when he and Dolly Bindra were talking about Malik after her eviction is being criticised for his comments. Someone has created a page titled ‘Sameer Soni Should Say Sorry to All Women of This World’ on Facebook and a lot of people are urging him to apologise for his comments.
Another interesting dialogue that is being forwarded through text messages and emails is a sentence spoken by Malik to Dolly Bindra: Aap Aurat Key Naam Par Ek Cartoon Ho (You are a cartoon in shape of women).

Dolly on the other hand called her ‘vulgar’.

Has Veena Malik ever acted in any porn movie ??..

It is learnt that Pakistani actress and model Veena Malik had posed nude in the past on more than one occasion. The first appearance of her nude photographs was in 2001, but Veena Malik had brushed off the images as though they were flies on a pancake.

“I have not posed for those photographs, and I am not bothered by them, ” she has confidently claimed at that time. A Pakistani sleaze magazine also mentioned that Veena Malik has acted in several soft porn movies at times either semi nude or completely nude.

By then Veena Malik was so used to such allegations of nude or porn movies, that she stopped replying to such accusations. The media too began to ignore her some of them felt that Veena Malik was herself behind all the photographs and videos ostensibly to keep herself in the news and on the front pages of publications.

Another Pakistani website claimed that Veena Malik has acted in hardcore porn movies in the West. After Veena Malik made it into Bigg Boss, Season 4 on Colors, hosted by Salman Khan, media both in India and Pakistan began taking interest in her all over again.

Meanwhile a hardcore sex porn video is in circulation, claiming that the video was shot by Veena Malik and a Dutch male porn star in 2010 just before she entered Bigg Boss and that Veena Malik was paid the equivalent of Rs 30 lakh for a half day hardcore sex shoot. We are not sure if this information is true, but apparently a 29-year-old male Dutch porn star has gone on record that he shot explicity sex scenes including those of penetrative sex with a Pakistani model whose name was Veena Malik.

The male porn star whose screen name is Melwin, has claimed in an interview to a Dutch tabloid that the model looked exactly like the one in the Reality Show on Colors – Bigg Boss, Season 4. As Veena Malik is still inside the Bigg Boss house, we have to wait till she gets out for her comments.

He has gone on record to say that the Pakistani model was very co-operative and wanted the video to be out in a few months. Maybe if it was the real Mc Coy, then Veena Malik was hoping that the video would be her ticket to fame and scandal, which would help her float easily through Bigg Boss without being eliminated or evicted.

All this information is unreliable and we leave it at that – gossip and hearsay. We have no way of authenticating all this information. We can’t go up to Veena Malik and ask her if she ever acted in any porn movies. Can we?

Veena Malik in Jism 2 ?

Actress turned filmmaker Pooja Bhatt has delivered one of the most sexiest Bollywood movies in 2003, Jism, starring Bipasha Basu and John Abraham. A perfectly in shape model John debuted in Bollywood with this movie and became a craze among the youth. The sizzling chemistry between Basu and Abraham rocked the viewers and the film was a roaring hit.

There were talks regarding a sequel of this movie earlier but nothing materialized. It is probably because they could not bring John and Bips together anymore for repeating their seductive act. Now again, the talks are rife about Jism 2 and Pooja Bhatt is seriously thinking about the lead cast, who can replace the hot couple.

There was a buzz that Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez of Aladin fame has been approached to enact the leading lady. But this did not go well with the Jism and they openly expressed their displeasure over her name on a microblogging site. Pooja Bhatt also rubbished reports saying that they never thought of Jacqueline.

However, fans have suggested a very good option for Jism 2. Most of them have suggested the name of Pakistani actress Veena Malik, who has been popular in Bigg Boss 4 for her sizzling acts with inmate Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel.

Their proximity on camera has grabbed many eyeballs and is being considered as perfect couple to replace Bipasha and John. However, Veena is quite far from a perfect figure when it comes to play a seductress in a movie like Jism 2. If she is considered seriously then she will require losing some extra kilos that she keeps showing frequently.

However, Ashmit is quite good in shape and has been seen working out with Hrishant Goswami earlier. But recently, he is behaving like a sick person and does not look to be in a very good shape. However, he can enact the role perfectly because Ashmit is often seen drooling over Veena and that is very much required for the role!

The party’s just started

Model Hrishant Goswami , who was ousted from the Bigg Boss house on Friday, says he is glad he’s out. “There was no alcohol in the house and I couldn’t sleep enough because we couldn’t sleep in the day time,” he says.

Goswami, who was the object of Pakistani actor Veena Malik’s affection, says he only saw her as a “good friend”. “We started off with our share of fights, but she ended up liking me. For me, it is only friendship. I want to focus on my career,” he says. While he maintains that he did not get attracted to any woman in the house, he admits, “I got to meet Pamela Anderson, which was great. And, of course, I liked Kareena when she entered the house ... but that’s it!”

Goswami is now looking forward to having a blast with actor Ashmit Patel, who he befriended in the house. “We are going to meet up and have a blast together; our camaraderie was for real,” he says. Asked who, according to him, is the most clever person inside the house, Goswami says, “Manoj Tiwari. He is a true politician.”

Veena Malik loves Hrishant!

Ask actor Ashmit Patel in celebrity reality show Big Boss 4. He moved on from tele star Sara Khan to Pak beauty Veena Malik and now Veena says that she likes model Hrishant Goswami.

What an insult!

Veena first woos Ashmit and then tells him to go and tell Hrishant that she loves him.

Hrishant is the winner of 2004 Gladrags Manhunt. He has been quietly scoring some 283 points and is an average player in the Big Boss.

He is a perfect goat for Veena, who is desperate to stay put in Big Boss.

Meanwhile, actor Dolly Bindra has asked Veena to open her heart to the man Veena says she 'currently' loves.

But Hrishant does not want to be in cross-border love affair.

He says that Veena is 'cute' but he is 'not interested'.

May be, he is once slapped and twice shy...if viewers remember!

Bigg Boss 4: Veena Malik attacks Ashmit Patel

After placing match-fixing allegations on ex-boyfriend and Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif and unceremoniously dragging Bollywood actress Neetu Chandra's name in the international cricket scandal, Pakistani starlet Veena Malik seems to have surprisingly turned her attention towards Bigg Boss co-participant Ashmit Patel this week.

Ashmit, a favourite with girls on the reality show, has currently been given a kitchen task of cleaning dishes in the Bigg Boss House. But when he stressed on cleanliness of utensils, out of the blue, Veena suddenly lashed out at him.

"Aap ko bahut shaq hai baat karne ka, aur main yahan pe relax kar rahi hoon... Go.... Apna kaam karo... mujhpe ehsaan kar rahe ho kya."

When Ashmit started to leave the argument, saying he's going for a workout, Veena shouted at him again, "Meri bala se workout karo... I don't care," she shot and added, "Jhoothe bartan dhota hai, toh khana bhi toh khata hai."

From the looks of it, Veena gives more significance to tiffs over emotions of the co-participants on the show.

Ashmit's publicist Dale Bhagwagar agrees. "Veena is just a drama queen. She talks about tehzeeb and integrity, but seems to do everything for effect," he remarked.

Undoubtedly, Veena's attention-seeking antics are questionable, but the irony is that such cocky behaviour has also come to be known as a necessary evil for reality shows, so it has to be tolerated by the other participants.

"Ashmit is a responsible person. He might get upset on the spur of the moment, but I'm sure he will get over this volley of words and bounce back with dignity," Bhagwagar added.

It will be interesting to watch how far Veena's 'stings' will take her on Bigg Boss. As far as the viewers are concerned, they seem to be lapping up every bit of the drama, as much as they are enjoying host Salman Khan's dabangg moves and jibes.

Bigg Boss 4 - a pot full of controversial names

The line-up of contestants for "Bigg Boss 4" has a Pakistani terrorist's former lawyer, a thief-turned-detective, a former dacoit, a Pakistani cross-dresser and others. It's no wonder Colors chose Bollywood star Salman Khan to host the reality show, where controversy seems to be the ticket for entry.

It seems the "Bigg Boss 4" house in Lonavala, at the outskirts of Mumbai, might end up being quite a pot full of controversies this year with inmates like Mumbai terror attack accused Mohammad Ajmal Kasab's former lawyer Abbas Kazmi; thief-turned-detective Devinder Singh alias Superchor Bunty; actor Ashmit Patel, who was involved in an MMS scandal; and Rahul Bhatt, who was friends with David Headley, accused of scouting targets for Mumbai attack.

There will be fireworks in the house with former woman bandit Seema Parihar, who had allegedly killed 70 people and abducted over 200 before surrendering to the police a few years ago, joining others.

Some controversial names from across the border like Pakistani actress and former girlfriend of fast bowler Mohammed Asif, Veena Malik, and Pakistani cross-dressing diva Begum Nawazish Ali will also spice up the reality show, especially when they will be sharing the same house.

The show's glamour quotient will shoot up with TV actresses like Shweta Tiwari and Sara Khan, former MTV Splitsvilla contestant Sakshi Pradhan and model Aanchal Kumar. Also, joining the inmates will be Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari, model-turned-actor Sameer Soni and model Hrishant Goswami.

The 14 participants will be spending three months sans any communication with the outside world. They will clean wash rooms, will wake up early morning and survive on limited food.

The participants are not allowed to carry mobile phones and there will be no clock in the house which will be constantly under surveillance of about 50 cameras.

As compared to the earlier editions of the show, the set up of the house has been changed along with some rules. There will be no walls, no separate bedrooms for male and female contestants respectively and there will be cameras and microphones in wash rooms.

The colour scheme is brighter with yellow being the dominant shade of the interiors.

Every week a participant will be eliminated, and the one who survives till the end will be the winner.

The launch episode of the season saw a melange of participants taken on a guided tour of the house by Salman, who even performed later on songs from his hits "Dabangg" and "Wanted".

The contestants for the fourth season put up sizzling performances before entering the "Bigg Boss" house.

"Bigg Boss 3" winner Vindu Dara Singh and former contestants like Ravi Kishan, Bakhtiyaar and Tanaaz Currim, comedian Raju Srivatsav, were also present at the launch, and some like Kashmera Shah and Sambhavana Seth even performed.

Veena Malik attacks Neetu Chandra

As if tossing baseless allegations and falsely claiming that actress Neetu Chandra is involved in the international match-fixing scandal wasn't enough, Veena Malik, a starlet based in Pakistan, is now hurling more accusations at the Bollywood actress, this time from Indian turf.

Veena recently made headlines by claiming that her ex-boyfriend; Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif and his team-mates Salman Butt and Mohammed Aamer were involved in spot-fixing in the series against England.

While the Interpol and Scotland Yard are reported to be investigating the matter, Veena came up with fresh allegations that Bollywood actress Neetu Chandra had a relationship with the tainted Asif. She further declared that Neetu had a hand in the match-fixing scandal which has taken the cricketing world by storm.

“I saw her number flash on Asif's cellphone many times; that's what I told the investigators, ” mentioned Veena in an interview to a newspaper just before entering the Bigg Boss House in Lonavala.


Neetu Chandra's publicist Dale Bhagwagar, who has repeatedly denied and rubbished all of Veena Malik's claims, was quick to react, “Neetu has no connection with either match-fixing, Mohammad Asif or any Pakistani cricketer. She is not even a cricket fan and has never ever watched a complete cricket match.”

Meanwhile, Veena's speculatory claims about Neetu are putting a big question mark on the credibility of her scandalous statements. “Whatever Veena Malik says in Bigg Boss too should be taken with a pinch of salt. It seems, she says things for effect and to attract attention of gullible audiences, ” remarked the celebrity publicist.

When asked why Veena could be continuously dragging Neetu's name in the cricket scandal, Bhagwagar said, “It remains a mystery we'd ourselves like to solve. Veena has earlier stated that she has Bollywood dreams.

Media mileage in India is the only reason we can suspect as of now. What we don't understand is why Veena has without cause picked Neetu for it!”

Asif's ex Veena Malik on Bigg Boss 4?

Pakistani Spot-fixer Mohammed Asif's ex-girlfriend is believed to be next inmate in the upcoming edition of Bigg Boss and she has a few demands as well!

This season of Bigg Boss definitely seems to be all about controversial celebrities and the latest to join the bandwagon is cricketer Mohammed Asif's nemesis, his ex-girlfriend Veena Malik.

The Pakistani model, who shot to fame with evidence of her ex-boyfriend's involvement in match-fixing, has now come in the news for allegedly joining the reality show, reported Mumbai Mirror.

The channel had been eyeing her as a prime contestant for the popular reality show ever since the scandal exploded, sources told the tabloid.

Malik, who believes Indian men are no match for "good-looking Pakistani men" was initially dismissive about the show but apparently warmed up to the idea and was eventually quite excited about it as well.

The model has been so much in the limelight due to the controversy she generated that it makes her a prime candidate for the reality show, feel social media enthusiasts. Bigg Boss which puts controversial celebrities, wannabes, and have-beens under 24x7 surveillance in a locked house is also likely to gain tremendously from Malik.

Convincing Malik was not difficult, say sources, though she did try to play the diva. She insisted that the production team choose the other 13 contestants carefully, "So that they are up to my level," she allegedly told the team.

Negotiations with Malik barely took a day to wind up and the production team has worked out the logistics for her passage to India.

Malik, however has denied being offered the role but has said that she is considering offers for Bollywood films and that she will be making an official announcement soon.

It's Neetu Chandra v/s publicity hungry Veena Malik

Bollywood actress Neetu Chandra's publicist Wednesday rubbished Pakistani bowler Mohammad Asif's ex-girlfriend Veena Malik's claims that the Indian actress has links with the cricketer, now embroiled in a match-fixing controversy. Veena, however, claimed Neetu was lying.

"Without any concrete evidence, Ms. Malik is going on and on talking about how she thinks Neetu Chandra is involved with Mohammad Asif. She is probably doing this for publicity, as we've heard that she herself has Bollywood dreams, " Neetu's publicist Dale Bhagwagar told reporters here.

"If that is the case, then this is a cheap way to bag mileage, as in the process, Ms. Malik is maligning the name and reputation of an established and critically acclaimed actress, " he said.

But Veena, an actress and TV host in Pakistan, told an Indian news channel: "I can assure one thing - the telephonic details I've provided... those are authentic. At the first place that actress is saying, 'I don't even know who Asif is?' The mysterious part is that why she is denying the proof.

"I don't know how frequent they were calling each other but yes I have seen this number a couple of times and I asked Asif and he said, 'she is an actress and she is a fan of mine...', " she said.

Neetu, who has starred in films like "Traffic Signal" and "Garam Masala", allegedly got embroiled in the scandal when Interpol and Scotland Yard handed over Asif's mobile phone details to the Pakistan Cricket Board for investigation.

The document, which has now been leaked, was prepared by Scotland Yard and Interpol on the basis of information given by Veena Malik and it contains the call details of Asif made in 2009.

According to reports, the only mobile phone number from Mumbai recorded in the document belonged to actress Neetu Chandra.

The document also reportedly says that Neetu had made two phone calls and exchanged SMS with the controversial cricketer, discussing sensitive cricket issues and deals.

Said Bhagwagar: "Neetu is flummoxed about how her cell number has featured on such a scandalous list. She believes this could be a conspiracy."

He also denied that Neetu was interrogated by the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) of the International Cricket Council (ICC) for having links with Asif as reported.

"The reports about Neetu being interrogated by Anti-Corruption and Security Unit of ICC are incorrect and baseless, " said Bhagwagar.

"Neither does Neetu know Mohammad Asif, nor has she been to Indian Premier League (IPL) parties or events as reported. Her name is unnecessarily being dragged in the match-fixing debate with unfounded allegations, " he said.
