Veena Malik threatened by the Taliban

Malik says the letter has been sent from a Ahmed Masood of the Taliban.

Actress Veena Malik on Thursday claimed she had been threatened by the Taliban.

Malik, who is currently in India appearing on television shows for the cricket World Cup, told Express 24/7 that she had received a letter from the Taliban four days ago via a media house in Pakistan. On the authentication of the letter, Malik said she had spoken to representatives of the media house, who confirmed its legitimacy.

Malik says the letter has been sent from a Ahmed Masood of the Taliban. The contents of the letter threaten to give Malik ‘exemplary punishment for her work in India’, she claims. Malik said that the letter also threatens her family and that if anything happened to them she would hold the government responsible.

She said that she will not seek asylum in India, stating that running away was not an option and that she would return to Pakistan. Malik said that the Indian authorities had provided her with security and she was getting in touch with Pakistani authorities to inform them of the situation.

Malik had recently participated in the fourth season of the Indian reality show Bigg Boss.

Ashmit Patel and Veena Malik together again

Actors Ashmit Patel and Veena Malik got a lot of publicity on the reality show Bigg Boss 4. Their fame has not left them alone even after the show. Ashmit and Veena, who have made viewers confused about the relationship between them, were apparently offered Rs. 30 lakh to enter a reality show together. However, the offer was not quiet luring to them. The couple has reportedly demanded a big sum of amount for appearing on the show together. It is also reported that they are willing to enter the show if the channel offers them Rs. 50 lakh.

Case against Big Boss participant Veena Malik

A case has been filed in a Lahore court against Pakistani actress Veena Malik for committing ''immoral and un-Islamic acts'' during her appearance on the Indian reality TV show ''Big Boss''.

Mian Muhammad Iqbal, a resident of Baghbanpura in Lahore, filed the case in the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Mehr Muhammad Yousaf.

Iqbal contended that Malik's "immoral" acts on the television show were reported in the Pakistani press and police should register a case against her.

After hearing initial arguments, the court today sought a response from the chief of Shalimar police station by January 24.

Iqbal had named the Lahore DIG, the chief of the Shalimar police station and Malik as respondents in his petition.

Malik was one of two Pakistani participants in the latest season of "Big Boss".
