Pakistani
actress
Veena
Malik
who
was
recently
seen
on
Colors
reality
show
Bigg
Boss
4
has
broken
off
her
engagement
with
New
York
based
Pakistani
businessman
Faisal
Akbar
Khan.
Veena
told
to
the
Express
Tribune
newspaper,
“I
called
up
Faisal
and
told
him
that
I
can
no
longer
marry
him.
I
told
him
that
I
am
breaking
the
engagement
as
I
have
to
focus
on
my
career.
We
couldn't
develop
an
understanding
and
there
was
no
use
in
dragging
this
engagement
any
further."
Is
her
love
for
Ashmit
Patel
the
reason
for
her
break
up?
The
actress
however,
says
that
the
breakup
is
totally
her
decision
and
she
has
no
reason
except
for
her
career
being
a
sole
reason.
When
asked
about
her
relationship
with
actor
Ashmit
Patel,
the
actress
said,
“I
have
always
said
he
is
just
my
friend.
We
have
a
good
relationship
and
that's
all
there
is
to
it."
Fiance
Faisal
is
a
family
friend
to
Maliks.
Both
of
them
got
engaged
in
October
last
year
after
cricketer
Mohammad
Asif
broke
up
with
Veena.
Faisal
proposed
Veena
for
marriage
for
quiet
a
long
time
now.
However,
Bigg
Boss
has
changed
everything
in
Veena's
life.
"But
I
didn't
accept.
After
my
break
up
with
Asif,
my
parents
asked
me
to
marry
him
and
I
couldn't
resist.
I
gave
our
relationship
time
but
we
couldn't
reach
an
understanding
so
I
amicably
called
him
up
and
said
that
I
cannot
marry
him," said
the
actress.
