Can anyone keep our very own Veena Malik out of the news? The answer is: no! Apparently she’s made a record of sorts on her birthday when around 100 men kissed her hand in India about which the Indian media is abuzz for the last few weeks.

The latest is that Veena M is trying to lose weight, some 15kg, which she gained while recording the Tamil version of The Dirty Picture. She claims she has already lost eight out of the targeted 15kg and has become extremely choosy with her diet.

Well, Veena M, we hope you become choosier with your choice of films too.
