LAHORE, Pakistan — A well-known Pakistani actress Saturday said she had received death threats from militants after appearing on the Indian equivalent of hit reality television show “Big Brother”.
Veena Malik, 27, incurred the wrath of hardline Islamic clerics for her performance on “Big Boss”, during which she indulged in several intimate scenes with Indian actor Ashmit Patel that included massaging his head and neck.
Clerics accused her of shaming Pakistan in rival India and she also received a letter threatening to “punish” her.
“I am quite shocked after receiving this letter. First I got only verbal threats but now it is in writing,” Malik told AFP by telephone from India, where she is hosting cricket World Cup show “Big Toss”.
“We want our daughters and sisters in our homes only and Veena Malik, who is humiliating Pakistan’s name in India, will be punished soon,” Rashid quoted from the letter.
“We are soon going to punish Veena Malik so that our future generations may be afraid of going to India. It is the responsibility of all Pakistanis and Muslims, but now we are going to accomplish it,” Rashid quoted the letter as saying.
Ties between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, which have fought two of their three wars since 1947 over Kashmir, have been dogged by border and resource disputes, and accusations of Pakistani militant activity in India.
Re: Death threats for Veena Malik in India. Should Veena Malik ask for asylum in Indi
agree...
but Bigg Boss was nothing compared to Bigg Toss . veena should have been more careful choosing projects. When I saw some of Veena's interviews post BB she made it seem like its going to be some really good show on cricket worldcup but kiya yeh flop show on india tv lol
The sad thing is that Veena doesn't seem to think she did anything wrong. According to her, her actions on the programme were totally acceptable.
