For many in the Indian entertainment community, in particular her ex-manager and rumoured ex-lover Prashant Pratap Singh this has been hard to accept and believe. Veena Malik was considered one of the most attractive actresses/models in Bollywood and Lollywood throughout her career before she decided to get married.
In 2012 she made the list of FHM India's Top 100 sexiest women's list and created much controversy after she posed topless for the cover of the Indian version of the men's magazine, FHM India and had the initials of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Spy Agency, "ISI" written on her arm in the photograph. The controversy arose because it is alleged that that magazine indicated that she posed nude which she denied. This is just one of the many controversies that arose during Veena Malik's time as a celebrity actress in Bollywood/Lollywood.
