LAHORE After Shoaib Malik, another top Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif is learning it the hard way as he has been taken to court by a former lover over a financial dispute. While Shoaib has managed to get out of his marriage controversy with Ayesha Siddiqui in Hyderabad, Asif is in trouble with his former friend, actress Veena Malik. Veena has served a legal notice on Asif after two cheques he gave her to settle an outstanding money dispute bounced. But Asif denied to have taken any money from her. Asif said that he has enough money to live and he does not require any amount from anyone for living. I did not take any money from anybody and my cheque book has been stolen a month ago and an FIR has been filed at a local police station, he said. He said that Veena Malik was not happy with his marriage and has adopted dirty means to let him down. The cheque she is talking about does not carry my signature and a cricket like me does not require to take any lone, he added. She took advantage of my friendship and stole my cheque book and tried to get money from the bank through my fake signature, he added. She has now started a propaganda against me and is damaging my reputation, he added. He also congratulated Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza in their new life and asked Veena to get married and leave him alone. However, Veena says that Asif owes her big amount of money and he has to give back. He gave me two cheques amounting to 11.3 million rupees as part of an agreement to clear an amount of nearly 18 million rupees that he owes me, Veena said. But both cheques bounced and I had no alternate but to send him the legal notice as he is not even taking our calls now, she added. Veena demanded her money back from Asif after he recently entered into wedlock with another girl chosen by his family. The news of the marriage stung Veena who had been going steady with Asif for more than a year and claims to have stood by him in his most difficult period of life when he was serving a ban for a doping offence. He had promised me that once he returned to play for Pakistan he would clear up my money but unfortunately he has not done that, she said. The cheques that bounced were for payments of Rs 3.9 and Rs 7.4 million each, she said.
