"I could not sleep overnight. I was so desperate to go into
the cockpit and tell the pilot to speed up to reach Bangalore
early," she said.
Veena said Bangalore was one of her favourite places in
the country and that she was always was keen to come here.
She said she had always received love from the people of
India and was confident of winning the hearts of Bangaloreans
before returning to Pakistan. "My message for Bangalore is
love and peace," she said.
The Kannada version of
The Dirty Picture will be shot in
Goa and Karnataka and Trishul is the film's director.
On December 22 last year, The All India Muslim Tyohar
Committee in Bhopal had issued a fatwa against Malik and
ex-communicated her for "objectionable" photos on the net and
for degrading the sacred institution of 'nikah' by signing a
contract to choose a groom on a reality show.
