Mumbai:
Pakistani bombshell Veena Malik may have set the small screen on fire in India by canoodling under a quilt with Ashmit Patel in the Bigg Boss house, but her sensual gestures sparked outrage back home, making her the favourite whipping girl of the Pakistani media and the moral police.
Jaish-e-Mohammad supremo Maulana Masood Azhar has reportedly joined Malik's list of detractors by issuing a death threat to her for "humiliating Islam and defaming the country" with her "vulgar" gestures. Sohail Rashid, Malik's manager, said, "She has been targeted since her entry into Bigg Boss. Her so-called vulgar gestures on the show have been the talk of the media in Pakistan. She got a threat mail in Urdu from Maulana Masood Azhar yesterday and was very worried about it."
"She is an artiste and there is nothing wrong in showing dedication to one's work. She cannot be issued death threats for participating in a TV show in India. Artistes are beyond boundaries," he added.
Veena, who is currently shooting a cricket show for an Indian news channel, recently visited Pakistan. Her parents, who live there, have also been threatened and told they will have to suffer the consequences for their daughter's act.
