Lately Veena Malik is again in news & this time the row is over her nude photo for an Indian magazine FHM in which she’s sporting the initials ISI on her arm. Quite a joke! I didn’t even see the point to smile even for a second but yeah the desperate attempt on the part of Veena is laughable. Some as usual believe the photo is fake & some are too mad at this woman. She knows how to insult Pakistanis every now & then. I also read somewhere even today that she’s still the heroine of liberals. The question is: who are these liberals or is this another myth? Or are we so lost that we are now confusing nudity with progress?
Anyhow, FHM India’s editor says that nothing has been doctored. They have got video footage of the shoot to prove that Veena was highly excited about the shoot. Plus they also have emails from Veena about how she was looking forward to the cover.
"No one can hold anything against the FHM as the girl on the cover page was Veena Malik and she can't deny it," Kabeer Sharma said.
"The photo shoot was done on November 22 after which Malik expressed her happiness for posing nude via email," he said.
"We have video footage of the shoot as well as emails from Veena about how she's looking forward to the cover. We have nothing to do with this controversy," he added.
Moreover, Maulana Abdul Qawi said on Aaj TV on Saturday that Veena’s latest venture into controversy was a “shame for all Muslims.” How could clerics stay mum?
Another story goes something like this – Veena did take part in the bold shoot but she was never naked. The photo published is in violation of her agreement with the Indian magazine. According to her, the photo has been morphed & she was very much in clothes.
"I have never posed nude. I have never done anything like that ever. My manager and legal team are looking into the matter. We will take legal action against them," said Veena.
Over all, I think it’s funny how Veena is often seen without clothes but the pics invariably turn out to be fake. It’s not about being naked. We all have seen such men & women. It’s how they lie about it that makes everything all the more hilarious. What’s the point of denying? You did something…have the courage to own your actions. So what if those actions are naked or stupid!!!
Speaking of which reminds me of Miru Kim. She’s the female artist who is living naked with pigs for 104 hours. She will eat & sleep with 2 pigs for 4 days & this is some kind of art…at least it’s hard work.
Kim has gained notoriety for stripping off and photographing herself naked in strange places such as abandoned factories, tunnels and bridges. This time she was inspired to create I Like Pigs And Pigs Like Me after reading French philosopher Michel Serres's book Five Senses: A Philosophy of Mingled Bodies, which explores the characteristics of skin.
‘When I mingle with pigs, I feel my existence more than ever.'
Although I fail to understand this kind of art but at least Kim is following some philosophy. What’s the philosophy of Veena Malik? She loves the art of denying so much that she dives into shark infested waters every time she wants to shock us & then she says she hasn’t done anything.
And seriously speaking, we are bored of these cheap stunts. Veena Malik is not that beautiful & we like to see better things.
