I am not a porn star, says Veena Malik

New Delhi: Veena Malik – who makes headlines for her bold acts on and off screen – has openly revealed her thoughts on what other people think about her and her image in Bollywood.


When asked by a leading daily about the reason why she is looked at more critically than others even when everyone in the film industry exposes, she said “That is something that even I have been trying to decode. Why do people talk about me all the time? I have not done anything that others haven`t. Am I the only one to wear a bikini, or to kiss on screen or for that matter give a backless shot in my films? So many actresses, even A-listers, have done all this. Then why only I`m being targeted? I am really puzzled about this.”

On being put in the same level as Sherlyn Chopra, Poonam Pandey and Rozlyn Khan already are, she said “Well, it`s totally unfair to compare me with them. I am not a porn star. I have never given a frontal nude shot. People always misunderstand this. There is a difference between a backless scene and a frontal nude scene. I don`t understand why people compare me with them.”

The controversial actress – who forayed into Bollywood with item numbers – is all set to wow the audience with her acting skills in ‘Zindagi 50-50’, which will hit theatres May 24, 2013.
