Veena’s web presence: 10/10

October 17, 2010

The celebrity has her own website, with a biography, photographs and news.

Like other Pakistani celebrities, Veena Malik too has a website. It is veenamalik.com.pk, and not veenamalik.net, which claims to be a fansite, and certainly not veenamalik.com, which has nothing to do with the film/TV star.

I thought I could write a piece about Veena Malik’s page similar to the one I wrote when I discovered Meera’s website.

But after going through it, I was actually quite impressed.

First of all, the website is not new. I just found it recently. Also, the vast amount of options and the information available on the page simply amazed me, not because it is done in a high tech fashion (it’s not) but because I didn’t think that our celebrities acknowledged the online media, and by that I specifically mean the internet, enough to make their presence felt there.

Not only does the website provide its viewers with a biography of the celebrity, a look at her “social work” and a vast array of pictures, which they can download as their wallpaper (features that were also available on Meera’s page), it also keeps you updated on all that is going on with her career at the moment.

There are sections on the website that give you the latest news on Veena Malik, as well as talk about her past scandals. It really does work on the ‘all publicity is good publicity’ concept. Except that I didn’t know about the site until just a few days back, while the site has been there for many months now. Perhaps a little more can be done on that.

‘Miss Meera jee at the rate hotmail dot com’ (missmeerajee@hotmail.com) could do it on TV. Why can’t Veena, who I personally think is more popular now?

The only bit I might be able to critique is the use of the English language. I am sure both Meera and Veena can afford to hire someone who can at least use correct grammar, if not a prime choice of words, while describing them.

If you are a fan of Veena Malik (I am), or if you think she brings a bad name to Pakistan, courtesy the multiple scandals, and of course her recent appearance on Bigg Boss 4, you have to visit her website. And if you are none of those things, just take a quick look. You may find something you like.

    Hey Guys, Give the kid a break, he ‘likes’ Veena Malik and wrote about her. Nothing wrong with that.
    At least he isn’t a political activist killing people in Karachi or one of their defenders writing patronized gibberish on these pages!Recommend

    For the Love of God, Ali Syed, do you not have anything better or more useful to write about than Meera or Veena Malik? Was your major at University, Celebrity Gossips and Affairs?Recommend

    But why Veena Malik ? You could have written about the world’s longest enchilada and its social impact on local Mexican society.
    Right, sorry you’ve answered that – you’re a fan of V.M.
    I’m pulling your leg Ali Syed. Veena Malik must be admired for the “go getter” that she is.Recommend

    It isn’t an article, it’s a blog post.

    Personally, I am sick of people who comment, advising the author to write on more pressing matters or serious stuff, if you are such big advocates of that ideology don’t read articles like this one or try starting a blog addressing those serious matters. And when you have experienced something like this article, don’t waste everyone’s time and yours by trying to seduce the writer into writing different material next time with a witty remark or two, that’s not how it works.

    Take it easy.Recommend
