Pakistani nation’s biased opinion about Veena Malik

Prejudice and double standards define the nation’s attitude towards Veena Malik

Veena Malik is one of the most talked about celebrity in Pakistan at the moment, not because of what she has accomplished in the last couple of years, but mainly because of all the things that she decided to sacrifice for fame.

It is intriguing to see the strong reaction of the nation to all that Veena is doing in India. The very people who spend hours downloading pictures of scantily-clad females on their computer and cell-phones are standing up against a woman who is doing exactly what they want actresses of other countries to do.

The strong backlash to Veena’s activities in India comes off as really confusing as it is no mystery how the film and theatre industry of Pakistan operates. Stage dramas enjoy immense popularity, especially in Faisalabad and Lahore. The women acting in these dramas do not exactly wear a hijab, nor do they reflect values that Pakistan can proudly embrace as its own.

Our film industry is not conservative either and has been portraying a really twisted image of a Pakistani woman. The women working in these films have no hesitation in revealing their skin or getting affectionate with the hero.

The Pakistani models are always pushing the boundaries of decency as well while walking down the ramp to show the latest work of renowned designers.

With such a culture already existing in Pakistan, it eludes logic to see everyone pointing fingers at Veena for doing the exact same thing in India. It seems that the strong backlash following Veena’s Bigg Boss Season 4 romance with Bollywood film star Ashmit Patel and her FHM photoshoot is entirely because of the fact that she was in India.

Veena did not do anything in India that is not already happening in Pakistan. Those who doubt the authenticity of this statement simply need to go watch a Pakistani film, Pakistani fashion show or Mathira’s show.
