Veena Malik, during her last visit to Delhi, made her intentions clear saying she is here to stay and will be working in India till the time she gets good offers. Stating her desire to stay in here, she said, “I will be here till the time I keep getting offers and good work. People in India just love me and that’s the reason I am here. My work is appreciated and it feels good when you see yourself being loved by so many people. I am working hard on the South remake of The Dirty Picture wherein I’m playing Silk Smitha. I have gained weight for the movie; until a few days I was 48kg, but now I am 55! Also, I am learning Kannada for the film and am singing a song in the movie as well. I am exploring all aspects of cinema and this is just the beginning of my acting career.” On being asked about her expectations from the film Silk Sakkath Maga, the Hindi version of which got Vidya Balan a National Award, Veena said, “Vidya was just superb as Silk in The Dirty Picture and she deserved the National Award for it. As an actress she is flawless. So it won’t be fair to compare her, and the role she played, with me because there is no comparison between the two of us.”
