KOLKATA: While praising actor and nawab scion Saif Ali Khan’s sense of style, Pakistani model-turned-actor Veena Malik voiced her aspirations of working with all the three Khans of Bollywood.
“I love Saif’s sense of style. It comes naturally to him because he is a nawab. If a nawab doesn’t know how to dress up, then who will? He is a very stylish guy and I think Kareena [Kapoor] is a lucky woman,” said Malik.
“I would like a bit of Shahrukh [Khan], a bit of Salman [Khan] and a bit of Aamir [Khan]. I would go with Aamir for his acting, Shahrukh for his romance and Salman’s Dabangg style,” Veena told reporters during a media conference on Wednesday to promote her forthcoming movie Zindagi 50-50.
Zindagi 50-50, scheduled for a May 24 release, will see Veena in the role of a sex worker opposite actors Rajan Verma, Rajpal Yadav and Riya Sen. She was last seen in Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai.
Acknowledging that Bollywood has been generous to her, Veena said her success mantra is “quantity over quality”. “Bollywood has been very generous to me. It has welcomed me with open arms. I feel proud to be associated with it; I am working really hard.”
“I want to act in so many films, but I prefer quantity over quality,” expressed Veena. The actor is also working in film-maker Haroon Rashid’s The City That Never Sleeps.
