Nothing controversial!
There are tomes of literature that exist on Veena Malik, perhaps each chapter covering a controversy and each one of them in sync with projecting a certain image. For reputation precedes the actress, item girl, reality show queen…controversy's favourite child. "I'm not unhappy with the image I have. It's not like I have control over my image. In reality, I'm a very reserved girl, don't like noise; don't like parties. But people think what they want to think," she shrugs, while adjusting her dull, mustard saree.
"I wanted to get ready for you guys at ease, with leisure. But this is what I could manage," adds
Veena, who is in Chandigarh shooting for Punjabi film Jatts in Golmaal.

Sister act
Priyanka Chopra and Parineeti Chopra are extremely close to each other and swear by each other. They consult each other and have pet names for each other. Contrary to popular belief, they are not competing with each other and always root for each other and mutually admire each other publicly, no matter what. And Parineeti is much junior compared to PC who has been around for a long time and is happy to advice and guide her cousin.
