Venna Malik the Indian star who is caught in the scandal involving FHM magazine India and India and Pakistan's governments and social customs has even been disowned by her father. The scandal ensued when Veena posed for FHM Magazine India for what was supposed to be a normal cover photo shoot. However after the fact the India version of FHM magazine has on the cover a photo of Veena nude covering her breasts with her arms. Veena says the picture has been doctored and that that is not the picture she agreed to and she didn't take any nude photos. However she said she would consider doing a nude photo shoot in the future. See the picture to the right. There is another cover shot showing the same picture with Venna wearing green shorts. That was the picture that was supposed to appear on the magazine. Veena is suing FHM magazine for the photo coming out. There is also the letters ISI on her bicep which caused a political stir in Pakistan since ISI is the initials of the Pakistani Intelligence Agency much like our CIA.
If this was an American or any western country actress this almost would be a non story. Since these are the types of things actresses have done for decades to get publicity. However not Indian or Pakistani actresses. The societal rules in their respective countries do not allow for being nude in public and there are punishments that go along with that. A Pakistani High Court rejected a lawyers petition to file charges against for defamation obscene acts and not wearing clothes. The court rejected the charges since it didn't happen in Pakistan. That is how serious this can be for an Indian or Pakistani actress. Not to mention the fact that I'm sure if an American girl did the same thing her father might be disappointed or not but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't disown her for bringing shame on their country.
Women of Pakistan and India have a long way to go and maybe this is the crack that starts it all.
