Veena Malik has filed an Rs1 billion defamation suit against ex-husband Asad Khattak for running a “smear campaign against her” which has damaged her reputation. The suit was filed under Defamation Ordinance 2002 in the Session Court through advocate Anjum Hameed.
According to Malik, Khattak is involved in “propaganda against her reputation which is causing her loss of goodwill, loss to business opportunities and mental torture.”
On January 5,Asad arrived in Pakistan to obtain custody of his children, who he claims have been kidnapped by his former wife. Asad claimed that he has evidence to prove that Veena has kidnapped his children from the UAE. Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, Asad had said that Veena abducted their children from Dubai and that Pakistan’s consulate general in Dubai was involved in the kidnapping.
Asad further added that Veena threatens him by claiming she has state institutions on her back.
Meanwhile, earlier in November, Veena had sent a legal notice worth Rs500 million to Khattak. According todetails, the legal notice was sent by the actor a few days after an audio clip started doing the rounds on the internet in which Malik allegedly threatened her former husband Khattak. In the notice, Veena alleged that Khattak is “deliberately trying to defame” her and that she had lawfully brought her children to Pakistan.

Veena Malik has filed a complaint with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) against ex-husband Asad Khattak for a social media campaign that was tarnishing her reputation.
According to details, the legal notice was sent by the actress a few days after an audio clip started doing the rounds on the internet in which the actress allegedly threatened her former husband. Malik has sent a legal notice of Rs500 million to Khattak.
In the notice, Veena alleged that Khattak is “deliberately trying to defame” her and that she had lawfully brought her children to Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Khattak claims that Veena “kidnapped” their children from Dubai and took them to Pakistan where she is keeping them at an “undisclosed” location.
Responding to Veena’s legal notice, Khattak called her a “fraud and liar” and asked her to send him the notice at his correct address.
وینا ملک اس بار مہربانی کر کہ میرے حقیقی ایڈریس پر ہی نوٹس بجھنا۔ دھوکہ دہی، جھوٹ فریب آپ کا پرانا پیشہ ہے۔ میرے ماں بہنوں کو قتل کی دھمکی اور میرے امریکی بچوں کو پاکستانی سفارتخانہ دبئی کی مدد سے سے غیر قانونی طریقے سے اغوا پر ریاست پاکستان کی خاموشی ایک سوالیہ نشان ہے؟ https://t.co/tbktSw7rC9
Khattak has also alleged that the audio clip, doing the rounds on social media, is of his conversation with Veena in which she threatened and abused him.
According to the legal notice, Khattak has to publicly apologise to Veena within 90 days or pay damages worth Rs 500 million.
Veena and Khattak tied the knot in December 2013 in Dubai and have two children. However, their marriage ended after three years after Veena accused Khattak of physically and mentally abusing her.
Veena Malik has lately been making the news a lot thanks to her controversial statements on Twitter and endless trolling of Maryam Nawaz.
Earlier this week, Veena engaged in a Twitter spat with Indian tennis star Sania Mirza who slut-shamed her by referring to her controversial magazine photoshoot. Though Sania later deleted her tweet, it wasn’t before Veena was able to screenshot it, share it and call her out for deleting it.
Have some guts & don’t delete ur tweets.Fortunately the technology has progressed so much that people can’t deny their acts.Oh the magazine’s cover u mentioned had morphed images.Also I can bringup all the controversies U have ever had bt I would rather not divert the discusion. pic.twitter.com/8qednFvEBz
Many supported Veena and called out Sania for her remarks. Later, Veena defended herself saying that the magazine photo shoot she is so often called out for was photoshopped. She even said that she has not been part of the film industry for the past five years and has pleaded to God for forgiveness several times. Among those lauded Veena for opening up and being honest was Aamir Liaquat’s wife, Tuba Aamir.
Tuba tweeted that Veena doesn’t owe answers to anyone and told her to keep going and ignore the negativity before going onto say, “Sinners judging sinners for sinning differently.”
Shaming someone based on what they wear is extremely low. You changed for yourself and you don’t owe answers to anyone. We all are striving to get better but are so unwelcoming when others make progress. Keep going and ignore the rest!
