Mumbai, Dec 17 : Controversial Pakistani actress
and model
Veena Malik has gone missing in Mumbai since Friday morning,
her manager said here Saturday.
Shooting for a Bollywood flick,
"Mumbai 125 kilometres", at Film City in
Goregaon of northwest Mumbai,
Malik left in a car after pack-up Friday morning and was not reachable
since.
"Veena left after the pack-up yesterday (Friday) morning.
In the afternoon, I received an SMS from her where she apologised for
not being able to concentrate on the shooting, stating that she was
disturbed," the film's director
Hemant Madhukar said.
"I called her immediately, but her number was not reachable. I have not been able to get in touch with her since," he added.
Malik's
manager Pratik Mehta also confirmed the development. "I have been
trying to reach her since yesterday, but have failed. I have approached
the officials at
Bandra police station and have sought help in finding
the whereabouts of Veena."
However, the
Bandra police denied they have registered a missing person's complaint for
Veena Malik.
Malik
came into limelight in 2010 after she testified against her boyfriend,
Pakistani fast bowler Mohammed Asif alleging that he was involved in
match fixing.
She then garnered more attention after she participated in the fourth season of reality show "Bigg Boss".
She has also been condemned by Islamic clerics for her nude photos in an Indian magazine.
The
actress is set to have her 'swayamvar' on India's national television,
through Imagine TV, which has earlier hosted
swayamvars of
Rakhi Sawant,
Rahul Mahajan and Ratan Rajput.
