During "Bigg Boss 4", the two seemed to have bonded well, and were also seen together at various events post the show. But both Veena and Ashmit never gave a clear picture about their relationship.
The two are also working together in the film "Supermodel".
"Ashmit was never my friend. We met in 'Bigg Boss' (season 4 in 2010) and after that we have not met. I am just working. I have friendship only with my career, " Veena said here Friday in an interview.
"I have no connection with anyone whom I met in 'Bigg Boss'. They don't even exist in my life, " she added.
The actress, who is currently busy with her Bollywood films and some Kannada and Telugu projects, says she has an "amazing" connect with people in India.
"It's a very amazing country. The connect I have with the people here is amazing, " said Veena, who was recently seen in item numbers in the films "Gali Gali Mein Chor Hai" and "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya".
Her next film, "Zindagi 50-50" is scheduled for a May 24 release. It will see Malik in the role of a sex worker. The movie also features Rajan Verma, Rajpal Yadav and Riya Sen.
