Controversial Pakistani actress-model Veena Malik hopes to find herself a life partner on national television through Imagine TV's reality show Swayamwar season 4, Veena Ka Vivaah. The actress not only gives out details on her marriage on a reality show but also talks about her nude pictures on the December 2011 issue of FHM India, that had brought her back on the headlines again.

Veena Malik, who had decided to face the questions raised at her, came up with the following responses as you may see below:

You have posed nude for FHM India Magazine and the images have now become a fury raising more than just a few brows. How can you add some light on this issue?

"I have never posed nude. I have never done anything like that ever. My manager and legal team is looking into the matter and We will take legal action."

Why did you decide to get married on a reality show?

"I was apprehensive when I was offered this show six months ago but I discussed it with my family and they were more excited than I was. I have not been lucky in my past relationships so my father told me to give it one more chance to find Mr Right.

My two elder sisters got married at the age of 14 so naturally, my parents wanted me also to get married but I told them that I will marry if I come across Mr Right.

I have watched the previous seasons and feel it's a genuine and exciting show."

What went wrong with your past relationships?

"The first one broke up because the guy wasn't loyal to me. The second one was arranged by my father. I am an independent girl, work and live on my terms and conditions. And this guy wanted me to shift to the US for good, so that too didn't work out. Hope it works for me this time."

Did money play a major role in your accepting this show?

"No. But, yes, I have been paid very well for this show. I am very happy with the kind of money they have paid. Money is important but it is not everything.

I don't think I have got more than 10 marriage proposals in all these years. But on this show, I will get to meet different people from various countries and chose Mr Right, which is really an interesting concept."



Will you really get married on the show like Rahul Mahajan or just get engaged like Rakhi Sawant and Ratan Rajpoot?

"I am doing this show with the intention of getting married if I come across the right person. I would not like to comment on the other contestants."

Are you concerned about the reaction in Pakistan after doing this show?

"It's an honour for a Pakistani to do a show like this. It is only a section of people who had issues in the past. Once I went there and cleared up the issues, everything was fine. But this Swayamvar is part of my personal life. No one has the right to tell me what I should do and whom I should marry."

Apparently, your former boyfriend Mohammed Asif called you before he was convicted in the match-fixing case.

"Yes, he called me a few days before his conviction. He wanted to meet me but I don't see any reason to meet him because he is a closed chapter in my life.

Also, he is married now and I don't want to hurt another woman.

I feel that the punishment is a bit too harsh and I pray that he comes out as a changed man after his sentence."

Can you talk about the films you are doing?

"I have completed four movies: Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya, Dal Mein Kuch Kaala Hain, Zindagi 50-50 and finally there is Mumbai 125 KMs which is a 3D horror thriller.

The films are in the post-production stage and there are two more films for which I am shooting."
