New Delhi: Pakistani actress Veena Malik seems to have become a WMD – ‘Weapon of Marketing Distraction’. Despite her break in to Bollywood with an item number in Riteish and Genelia’s ‘Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya’ – she still thinks controversy is her best friend.
The magazine FHM has posted a cover picture of their latest issue featuring Malik with nothing on her except for a tattoo on her left arm with the letters I, S and I.
Posing in a deliberately provocative stance on the cover, the issue claims to have her speaking on the matters of ‘Asif, Burqas and Work Visas’. The cover is clearly not a hoax – for it is on the FHM website and is all over the web already.
What FHM is trying to do is rather apparent. Together with one of the very many controversy queens in showbiz today – the magazine has taken the oldest trick in the marketing books to their latest cover.
A nude Veena Malik who is covering her ‘modesty’ with her hands, with a blatant lettering on her arm – is bound to attract the kind of attention the publishers are hoping for.
You can take Veena Malik out of Pakistan but it seems you cannot take Pakistan (and the related controversy) out of Veena Malik.
