KARACHI: Veena Malik will be shortly in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah with her husband and both sides of their extended families.

According to The Express Tribune, the actress known for creating waves, claims her husband is making ripples in the field of music. “Asad has gotten into singing career. He will also be making a Bollywood debut,” Veena said.

When the Dubai-based actress, who prior to her marriage made headlines with her controversial and provocative actions and statements, was asked about her own future plans, she replied, “Though a globe trotter, after ten days or so my husband and I will be performing Umrah with both sides of the extended family members included. Later, we plan to travel to Australia where Asad will be presenting and participating in a seminar.”

She added that she was taking advantage of her break from showbiz to focus on other aspects of her personality that the media never highlighted. “I was at one time doing showbiz, along with some charity…. but the charitable aspect of my personality never got noticed. Two things have always been closer to my heart, women empowerment and children’s rights; I will now be focusing on that.
