Pakistani actress and model Veena Malik is once again in the limelight, but this time it’s her new romantic interest that has captured public attention. Recently, Veena has been linked to a TikToker who is six years her junior, sparking speculation across social media as videos of the two exchanging gifts have surfaced. Fans are left wondering if this is a genuine relationship or simply a social media stunt.
In an exclusive interview Veena addressed the swirling rumors, stating, “Women don’t usually reveal all their secrets, and I’ve kept this one under wraps for some time. But if people are talking about love, what’s wrong with that?”
Veena Malik first gained fame during her stint on Bigg Boss Season 4, where her rumored romance with Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel generated significant controversy. Their on-screen closeness received mixed reactions in Pakistan, with many harshly criticizing her.
At a time when relations between Pakistan and India were more amicable, Veena also ventured into Bollywood, notably performing the item number “Channo” in the film “Gali Gali Chor Hai,” among other projects that brought her fame across the border. She became well-known for her role on the satirical show “Hum Sab Umeed Se Hain,” which aired on Geo News in 2008. However, she faced severe backlash after posing topless for the Indian edition of FHM magazine, which led to public outrage in Pakistan.
In 2012, she found herself in the spotlight again when a private TV channel canceled her role as a host for a Ramadan transmission due to public outcry, adding to her series of controversies.
“Every challenge comes with ease,” Veena stated, reflecting on her past. She has endured difficult experiences, scandals, and public criticism but remains hopeful as she embarks on a new relationship. When asked if her past heartbreaks make her apprehensive about starting anew, she replied, “I’ve always had confidence in myself, but yes, I’ve experienced painful moments in relationships. Nevertheless, I’ve never lost faith in myself or in destiny. I maintain a positive outlook and believe that every hardship brings ease.”
Veena expressed her hope that this time, instead of criticism, she will receive love and support from her fans and the public. “Whatever happens in life happens for a reason. That’s my belief.”
Additionally, she shared her deep spiritual connection, stating, “Whether life is good or bad, I have faith in destiny.”
As for her “Mystery Man,” fans know him only by his social media handle. Shehryar Chaudhry, active on TikTok, has not revealed his face and prefers to maintain a low profile. In his conversation with Geo.tv, Shehryar explained, “I like to keep my personal life private, which is why you won’t see my picture on my profiles.”
Describing his relationship with Veena as one built on mutual respect, Shehryar noted, “From the beginning, I didn’t expect our closeness to attract this kind of attention. But honestly, I don’t mind. Veena’s past doesn’t define our relationship; it’s our present that matters.”
Regarding the controversies surrounding Veena, he remarked, “I believe everyone deserves respect. Our relationship transcends the media narratives about her.”
While both Veena and Shehryar remained tight-lipped about the future of their relationship, it’s evident that Veena is eager for a fresh start with her “Prince,” hoping to gain public support this time around.
