This was bound to happen. It appears that Veena Malik has overstayed her welcome in India. Word is that the actress, who attracts controversies like a moth to a flame, is these days trying to renew her Indian visa. It is because of this issue that last week her expected arrival at a Bangalore venue for taking part in a press-meet was delayed. The press session was for her forthcoming film, the Kannada version of The Dirty Picture.

Veena M is allowed to visit only 11 cities in India. Besides, insiders say her visa has crossed its expiry date and the CBI is not happy about it. Our advice to Veena M would be, once you get the document renewed always remember everything in life (including relationships, contacts, etc) also needs to be renewed.
