The wafer-thin Humaima Malik is being talked and written about in Bollywood. It seems (we hope we’re proven wrong) that she’s treading the Veena Malik path.

Take for example this nugget of information which has gone viral on the Internet. It says Humaima M was seen at a wrap-up party for her first Indian film Raja Natwarlal having a good time with her co-actor Emraan Hashmi. The same Emran Hashmi who is known for his serial-kissing ability! To boot, Humaima M has branded him a ‘fantastic’ and ‘fun’ guy. Seriously, fun guy? In what fun, I mean, in what sense? This sounds more like the other Malik who is now a reformed person — so we hear!
