According to a court official, the 33-year-old actress had filed a plea seeking divorce in the Lahore family court in first week of this January as the couple had developed differences and could not live together, PTI reported.
The court had summoned Khattak but he neither appeared nor filed a reply.
He is yet to make an official statement on the khula.
On this, the court accepted Veena's plea and issued a decree last month validating divorce between the couple, the official said.
Malik's counsel Ali Ahmed has confirmed the separation between her and Asad, saying that the family court issued the decree on January 31, 2017, after the actress filed for 'Khula' (divorce), The News International reported.
The couple kept the development under wraps.

According to some reports, Veena and Khattak had been living separately for the last three months. Veena reportedly wanted to join showbiz but Khattak had been insisting she look after their two children, Abram (2) and Amal (1).
