I will do a better job than Shah Rukh Khan: Imam
Imam is on a professional high these days. Hardly a week after exiting Bigg Boss, he has been roped in to be a part of Nautanki, a broadway style of comedy-play format, which will air from February 2 on Colors. Excerpts from a chat:
What made you take up Nautanki?
I was thrilled and excited when I got this offer, because I am beyond comedy. I am hilariously funny.
Do you also plan to pull the legs of the guests who would be coming in for the show?
I will not only pull their legs, but also their hair pieces off. I hope Amitabh Bachchan never shows up, else I might even pull his toupee off.
Do you think taking up Big Boss was a good move from your side?
It was the best move of my career. The love, encouragement and support that I got from the people was phenomenal. Masses have loved me and redefined the term celebrity. After seeing me, many told me that I personify Utsah and Umang.
How has life been after Bigg Boss?
I have been getting so many offers that I cant tell you. People are paying me '5 lakh just to make an appearance in weddings. The royal family of Saudi Arabia has called me and my family for Haj and Umrah. I believe in the saying paisa phenk tamasha dekh. I am a kiraye ka tatttoo. I will come for a wedding, charge lesser than Shah Rukh Khan for a dance and do a better job than him. He is a non-dancer while I am a dancer. In the next two years, I promise to make more money than any Indian celebrity did in the five years.
Sapna Bhavnani told us that she was so impressed with you that she wanted to tattoo your name on the back of her neck...
Sorry Sapna, I don't like backhanded compliments. I wouldn't like to be on her or anyone's back. I like to be in the front. It would be good if she tattoos my name across her bust. That would be quite graphic.
And Rajev said he would never like to see your face again...
I hope for his safety that he stays away from me. It's better to be safe than to be sorry. It is not a threat, but a request. Ms Paulpachino, time out!
