Asad Khattak says Veena Malik lied to me about everything

Pakistani actor Veena Malik’s ex-husband Asad Khattak says he tried his best to bring the actor on the "right path".

In his recent video message, he said he met Veena at the Dubai consulate and they got married in eight days.

“Everyone asks me why I married Veena Malik? Veena was criticised for tarnishing Pakistan's image. As a Muslim, I married Veena to bring her on the right path,” Khattak said.

Regretting that “he tried his best to mend things” between the two, Malik's ex-husband said it is unfortunate that the wedding could not last for long.

Alleging that the former actress is mistreating his children, he said: “Veena lied to me about everything."

Khattak had tweeted earlier saying about his two children being ‘illegally’ taken from Dubai to Pakistan.

The duo had tied the knot in 2013. They parted ways just a few years later.

Earlier, Pakistani actor Veena Malik was served a legal notice by her ex-husband Asad Khattak for taking their two children to Pakistan illegally.

Turning to Twitter, Khattak broke his silence and sought justice for his two children who he claims were ‘illegally’ taken from Dubai to Pakistan by the talk show host, despite a UAE court ruling in his favour.

“I have thought long and hard about this but I have now lost my patient. People mistook my silence for weakness. I am hopeful that a father would be given justice as in Allah’s court, justice always prevails. Someone will have to be answerable to the pain that I am currently going through. I have served a Rs500million notice to Veena Malik."

He also urged Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the Ministry of Interior to take action against Malik for illegally transferring their kids from UAE to Pakistan, also requesting the government to place his ex-wife on the Exit Control List.
