Veena Malik (born Zahida Malik) is a Pakistani Film and Television actress and model. Veena Malik was born in a conservative family of Rawalpindi, an industrial city of Pakistan on 26th February, 1980Career and hype
Her father is a doctor who has served in army medical hospitals for several years. She faced great adversity from her family when announcing her decision to join showbiz. It was her grandmother's persuasiveness which enabled her to get her father to finally agree to her working in movies and television plays.
Like all people desiring to join the industry in Pakistan, Veena started with the film industry in Lahore, the home of Lollywood. She was to meet the likes of Mukhtar Ahmed and Jarar Rizvi in 1999, who landed her a role in the epic Pakistani film Tere Pyar Main. By the end of the year, she was already being considered for other such projects when she became a part of a growing scandal.
Veena has almost always been cast as a supporting actor. It is unclear if she herself stayed clear of the leading roles or was denied them. Industry enthusiasts say that the only genre Veena was good at was 'comedy' and the directors failed to create a leading role around her acting skills. The criticism was taken well with Veena and she began to hone her skills even more in comedy. In 2002, she was called by Prime TV to host a show called Prime Gupshup for them ushering a new direction for her comedic skills and she improvised on the hour-long show occasionally mimicking actors. The show's format was such a great success added with the charisma that she brought with her that Veena received offers from various other channels as well. She was recently cast to host the Geo TV show Hum Sab Umeed Say Hain where she was hailed for her comedic parodies.
In 2007, she graced the red carpet event of the Lux Style Awards and was awarded as being the ‘most stylish celebrity on the carpet’. With the recent hype surrounding her achievements at the LSA, Veena was offered roles after another in various films. Staying away from films which she calls 'formula films' she starred most recently in Mohabbatan Sachiyan, which was considered the best Punjabi film to come out of Lollywood in a long time. This film features Veena in the leading role and has paved her way as a prominent A-list actress in the Pakistani film industry.
