Islamabad, May 9:: Weeks after a Pakistani beauty queen said she would love to date President Pervez Musharraf, another top model has claimed that she and the former military ruler are "old friends".
Maria Mateen, who has bagged many beauty awards, said she had no desire to date Musharraf as they were "already good friends".
Mateen said when she started her modelling career, her association with Pakistan was appreciated everywhere and she earned the country a good name after representing it twice at international beauty pageants.
Denying reports that she wanted to date Musharraf, Mateen told a local TV channel that she didn't have to because she and Musharraf are "already good friends". In a post on a pageant website, she wrote: "Going to international pageants we have found out how much Musharraf is known to all beautiful young girls, the beauty queens. Some have replied, 'Oh yes, the general man (sic)'. While others have said 'the man who rules Pakistan'.
"Everything positive... I think personally Musharraf Sahab is very good-looking. Some Pakistani politicians may not agree with these gorgeous women. You know like Benazir, all men around the world thought she was a beauty, similarly Musharraf is a hunk. He has enough charisma to have young girls going nuts," said the beauty queen's post.
Last month, reigning Miss Pakistan World Mahleej Sarkari kicked up a controversy by saying she "loved" Musharraf and wanted to "date" him.
Sarkari said she would love to date Musharraf if he asked her out. "Yes, any time...I like him a lot..." she told a news portal. She also said she thought, "Mrs Musharraf would nod her head in agreement that her husband is an icon no matter what happens".
