Taliban threats, criticism from her conservative countrymen and a broken engagement (from Faisal Akbar Khan, a New York businessman,) have all contributed to former Bigg Boss inmate Veena Malik’s decision to buy a flat in Mumbai.

Did her close “friendship” with Ashmit Patel reinforce that decision? We are not sure. The lady herself was quoted by a newspaper as saying, “Considering I’ve six homes in Pakistan, I think one in Mumbai is only fair.”She’s currently busy with her cricket show, Big Toss. On the romance front, too, it’s going well. Veena gets along nicely with Ashmit’s parents and has met his sister Ameesha. When asked about marriage she says, “Marriage is like death. You never know when it strikes!”
