A row has erupted over an image of Pakistani actress Veena Malik sporting the initials ISI on her arm, with FHM India insisting it is not fake. It has caused a sensation in Pakistan for both the nudity and the initials of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency.
Pakistani media have quoted a spokesman for Ms Malik as saying she never took part in such a photoshoot. Also speaking to Pakistan's private Geo channel, Sharma said Malik had been "very excited for this shoot" and the tattoo by the makeup artist had been "in very thin font, but (Malik) asked to make a bold tattoo of ISI".
Reacting to the controversy, Pakistan's Interior minister Rehman Malik said that the government would verify the nudity matter. "If she has done so, she did wrong. But, these pictures are tempered many times and we will look into this issue," he told reporters.
1. Veena Malik is the former ex-girlfriend of cricketer Mohammad Asif. The disgraced cricketer was jailed last month in connection with the Pakistan match-fixing scandal.
2. She was born in Rawalpindi near the capital city of Islamabad.
3. She is the daughter of an Army soldier.
4. She was a basketball player throughout her school years, to include college.
5. She reportedly has a bachelors degree in Sociology, Psychology and Persian.
6. Veena Malik worked as a comedian for several television shows and series before she became an actress. She made her acting debut in 2000.
7. Back in 2007, when she made an appearance on the red carpet for the Lux Style Awards, she was tagged the "most stylish celebrity on the carpet."
8. Veena Malik made it big time in 2010 when she took part in the Indian version of Big Brother called Big Boss 4. She was evicted two weeks before the finals.
9. She is very outspoken and has won a large following from Pakistan's youth and liberals.
10. She was confronted on a talk show by cleric Mufti Abdul Qawi for her "immoral" behaviour. The actress said Pakistan had greater issues to focus on than her.
11. She worked as a representative at the World Health Organization for more than two years.
