Veena Malik recently went to Edhi Homes to inquire about the health of Abdul Sattar Edhi. After the young female actress left with the hordes of cameramen accompanying her, Abdul Sattar Edhi unassumingly asked, “Who was that?” A girl beside him smiled and replied, “Veena Malik”.
The world famous philanthropist and social worker Edhi was quite unaware of Veena Malik’s stature.
“I have wanted to meet you for ages. Philanthropists like you are the need of the hour for this country.” While clutching his hand tightly, she said, “My family members and I have been regularly praying for your speedy recovery.” Veena gushed.
To this, Edhi said in a low tone, “Do pray to the Almighty to allow me to do more work for others
Speaking to the media, who had surrounded them, she said, “It’s an honour for me to meet him in person. ‘We’ are two ambassadors of human rights. Even if Pakistanis, in general, do 0.1% of the good he has done for suffering humanity (sisakti hui insaniant), the country will be a better place to live in. I wish and I hope to follow his (august) footsteps.”
