Pakistani actor Veena Malik certainly has a penchant for staying in news and making headlines. The actor, who was part of a few Bollywood movies and was a contestant in Bigg Boss in 2010, faced the ire of tennis star Sania Mirza, married to Pakistani cricket player Shoaib Malik when the former decided to give some parenting advice to her.
Veena Malik took to Twitter to criticise Sania Mirza's parenting skills after a video of their son Izhaan with his parents and a few members of Pakistani cricket team at a "sheesha place" was circulated online. The video was shot before the match against India which Pakistan lost.
"Sania, I am actually so worried for the kid. You guys took him to a sheesha place isn't it Hazardious? Also as far as I know Archie's is all about junk food which isn't good for athletes/Boys. You must know well as you are mother and athlete yourself? (sic)" she tweeted.

Sania Mirza didn't take kindly to Veena Malik's unsolicited advice as she reacted saying she knows how to take care of her son and added that she is not Pakistan cricket team’s dietitian, mother or teacher.
“Veena,I hav not taken my kid to a sheesha place. Not that it’s any of your or the rest of the world’s business cause I think I care bout my son a lot more than anyone else does :) secondly I am not Pakistan cricket team’s dietician nor am I their mother or principal or teacher,” she tweeted.

In an apparent bit to end the bickering and unnecessary publicity it would attract, Shoaib Malik waded in and urged everyone to “ maintain respect levels in regards to our families.”
“On behalf of all athletes I would like to request media and people to maintain respect levels in regards to our families, who should not be dragged into petty discussions at will. It’s not a nice thing to do,” he tweeted.
