Pakistani actress Veena Malik is busy rehearsing in India for the grand finale of a reality show, and hasn't still gone back to Pakistan. In-between her dance sessions, she gets chatty with TOI on her wedding plans and her fascination for Indian men...
'India ki Bahu!'
The lady, who was unabashedly snuggling up to her 'close friend' Ashmit Patel in a reality show, and even smooched him without any inhibitions, says, "Mujhe ab rishta chahiye. I feel Indian men are wow! They are very good-looking and intelligent, and it would be an honour and pleasure to become India ki bahu!" Since she has visa clearance for some more days, would she care to find her "special man" in India, or try to meet Ashmit on a more intimate level? "I'll surely meet him and let's see where it goes from there! I want a man who is sensitive, caring and respects me," says she.
Shoe off lady!
Looking at the way she refused to get off those pointed heels in the reality show, it's clear that Veena is besotted with her shoes. Rag her that she's going the Imelda Marcos way, and pat comes the rejoinder: "Imelda had 3000 pairs of shoes in all, and I've over 500 already! Trust me, I will beat her soon! I have shoes in every colour imaginable and I'm still panting for more! In fact, I've picked up some shoes in India too!"
Rakhi RIOT!
Since the lady has happily been tagged as 'the Rakhi Sawant of Pakistan' by the media in India as well as Pakistan, does that simile irritate her a bit? Veena replies with complete nonchalance: "I've not met her or interacted with her, so I can't comment on that. Moreover, I can't please everybody, so I'd rather make myself happy and be my own gal!"
Filmi chakkar
After coming out of the celebrity house, has she got some films or TV offers in India? "Before I entered the reality show, I was offered a film called Bombay Touch and yet another untitled film, which I didn't approve of. There have been enquiries from producers, but I'm busy rehearsing for the Friday Finale of the reality show. Since I don't have an India number, I'll take a call on this issue when I go back to Pakistan. Then my manager will get in touch with the producers and I will choose carefully," says she before saying 'hasta la vista'..
