LAHORE:  When there’s drama or controversy, Veena Malik and Mathira seem to be in the vicinity. The tradition of being in the news for all the wrong reasons, however, wasn’t pioneered by them. It was Meera who cut that ribbon. She went from Lollywood to Bollywood and bounced right back.
Although there was speculation that her film career may well be over, the release of her new film Ishq Khuda — which failed miserably at multiplexes but fared rather well at single-screen cinemas — proves otherwise.

“I really believe that this has been my best film [so far],” says Meera, adding that the film has acted as a medium to restore confidence and faith in herself and her acting career. The crew of Ishq Khuda recently cut a cake in Lahore to celebrate the commercial ‘success’ of the movie. “I was reaching a point where I thought to myself that this may just be my last film,” she adds. “But I think that’s what this film has done… it brought my interest back and I hope to do more work.”
