OMG, I just spoke to Imam for an hour!😆
At first he didn't want to talk saying that there were too many people calling him.
Me : "Imam, let's talk."
Imam : "Okay fine. Others can wait."
😆
We talked about anything and everything. I told him all about IF and he was extremely touched knowing that he has so many fans here. I even asked him to check out Cruiser's posts LOL. He asked me to pass on a thank you to Cruiser from his end.😆
We then talked about our Live Feed discussions and in detail about a lot of incidents. I asked him a gazillion questions and he answered them all. Some excerpts from the conversation :
Me : "Did BB provide you people with alcohol on new year's eve? Sana and Rajev looked drunk!"
Imam : "Yes babe they did. Sana was quite drunk on wine. She had told me once earlier that she doesn't drink at all but when I saw her drinking on nye I was shocked. What's the need to lie?"
Me : "You know she likes Rajev right?"
Imam : "Ewww nooo? What noway!"
Me : "She does yo! It's quite apparent."
Imam : "Is she blind? I want to do projectile vomiting right now."
We laughed our asses off LOL.
We sang Dholi taro dhol ki akhia together and then screamed Chalo Bolo London!!!😆
Imam : "Babe you are so cute. I'm looking up at these bells outside in the lawn and talking to you...such a beautiful moment!"
Me : "It's raining outside and 1:30 am here."
Imam : "Ummm shouldn't you be in bed??Go to bed!"
Me : "I'm a night owl."
Imam : "Me too😆."
We then talked about Bollywood. He told me how Karan Johar runs away from him in parties apparently. ROFL!
Me : "Imam he's scared of you."
Imam : "I knowww right? I should tell him to time out next time I see him."
Me : "Could you tell Amitabh Bacchan to time out next time you see him?"
Imam : "Should I? That would actually be fun!!What an idea!"
😆 😆 😆
A few other points :
*His best friend's name is Melissa. He was at her place near Lonavla when he was speaking to me. I heard her voice in the background and asked him who she is in a teasing way. He said, "nooo this is my bff. She is my jaan. We have known each other for 30 years. We love and hate each other. She was the one who came to take me the first time I left the house. They showed her in the main episode."
*Imam says Big Brother people have been following him in BB and now on Twitter.
*Imam didn't want to go into the house from the beginning because he wanted to see the results of the presidential election.
*Imam started off his career in Canada. Something to do with the Olympics where he was present. He was talking really fast so I couldn't make out much.
*He told me about how during the 26/11 terrorist attack in Mumbai, he saved three lives!
*He asked me to contact him in case there was any opportunity for him in Canada. He would love to come as a special guest in any major event.
*He loves animals a lot. He thinks he might like them more than humans.😆
*Imam talked about his mom in length when I complimented him on his looks. He said that she's a beauty!
*He asked for the link to Live Feed videos. I said I will send him the link to Suyash's(sscomp32) Youtube channel.
*He said he's gonna call all his fans to wish them on their birthdays. He took my number, name and DOB down.😆
He's such a sweetheart. Yes, a little mad but a very genuine, grounded and good person. It was one long conversation but I enjoyed every bit of it. Felt like I've known him for ages.
PS. He told me some inside info about some of the contestants but made me promise not to spill the beans. He might be telling everyone all this but just because I promised him, I can't share it with you all. Sorry!😉😆
PS. 2. He didn't interrupt me even once while I was speaking. He's an awesome listener unlike what we saw in the house.
PS. 3. We ended our conversation with TimeOut, Allah hafez and lot of hugs & kisses!😳

I spoke to Imam today morning and as soon as I gave him reference of Russia, he recalled our tweets and funny exchanges, (perhaps I am the only one tweeting to him from Russia, may be because of that)!
He was extremely courteous. He was full of admiration for Urvashi and I complimented him for being so graceful on the Finale night. I mentioned to him about my respect for his magnanimous sister on the Finale night and praised him for praising his Sister's remark, without even batting an eyelid when she said she supports for winning---'Urvashi from audience point of view Imam as Sister..."!
Invited him here and he was,"Oh Wow...I would love that..." I wished him well and reminded him that he is at a pedestal, where he could be the next huge Television star on Indian Telly scene...and he said...what else..."I KNOW!"🤣
** Whenever I spoke, he did not interrupt me even one time...no TIME OUTS for me...So I beat Salman Khan in one thing atleast!😊"

Cherie, here's my end of conversation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I called him, didn't know how to introduce myself LOL
Imam in cold Mumbai, wearing his socks and tucked in to be retired for the day.
ChandraMukhi: Hi, I am _____ and one of your fans
Imam: I will only talk to you if you call me your friend. I don't think of myself as a celebrity, so just talk to me as a friend like you talk to yours (Awww 😳)
ChandraMukhi: I along with others have been rooting for you since day 1 on India forums.
Imam: Thanks for all the love and support and he added lots more in his style which I can't reproduce 😒
ChandraMukhi: You must be exhausted speaking with so many people around the globe
Imam: I am not exhausted physically only mentally the response I have been getting is overwhelming
Imam: Enough about me, I wanna know more about you, what you do, where you are from etc (Awww such a grounded person 😳)
ChandraMukhi: **Filled him in with my side of info**
So basically he has noted down everyone's name, e-mail, phone # etc. And I was apparently 650+ caller in the last 3 days. As everyone pointed out he was very polite, didn't interrupt or timed me out until the end 😆😆
Few pointers:
- I spoke to him about India forums and how there are many vocal Imam supporters here.
- He mentioned how people have imposed the tag of being "gay" on him while he isn't sure of it himself. I mentioned how people on the forum used to bash his sexual orientation. Thus he was curious if we have a section where people can be educated. I mentioned to him about Debate Mansion where all the serious talks and discussion take place. And he was happy to hear it. Three cheers to DMians.
- He mentioned the show isn't scripted per se, he mentioned all the outbursts and actions of housemates isn't scripted but real, whatever we see on screen
- He didn't like Karishma's comment about him having some mental condition.
- He has been extremely disappointed with Sana after he witnessed her actions in the secret room. He mentioned Sana coming from a poor family, but was disappointed that she doesn't wanna embrace it or feel proud of the fact that she has reached heights coming from such a background, who tries hard to show off as one of the chic high society persona.
- He and Sapna are like buddies now after the show. According to him, everyone in there were boring except for this sizzling duo (And I agree with him 100% )
- He was quite all along when Rajev bullied him because of what his sister had mentioned to him about Rajev. He loves his sister to the core, thus didn't show his haiwaniyaat on him 😡
- He said BB brother has been following him, but nothing has been confirmed
- He mentioned getting calls from one of the royal Arab families, inviting him over and loving him in the show.
- His bloodline from the maternal side can be traced back to the Mughals
- He had visited Montreal. And his paternal side has been into sports and all, have won many medals (I think he had shown the pic of his dad in one of the episodes of BB)
- He mentioned he has many shades of personality and he likes the way he is.
- He mentioned he would love to come to Toronto and judge one of the beauty pageants.
- Last but not the least, he remembered Cherie and Cruiser speaking with him and confirmed having lovely chat with them both.
There was so much more which I can't recall properly and few bits which are to be kept a secret😉
And of course he ends the call with his famous "Time Out" babes 😎
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All in all, he didn't really badmouth any housemates except showing his disappointments towards them, which he is entitled to. I swear we would have chatted more, but he was yawning and sounded exhausted, so I had to cut the conversation short. We still yapped for about 40 mins. He is quite an interesting persona and definitely very well versed, who doesn't hesitate to take out time for his fans, which is commendable 👏
I still feel he has been one of the most misunderstood housemates of this season and people who would interact with him can vouch for it. Two thumbs for him for making me showcase myphankhagiri 😆😆

A heads up : BTW, To all those who want to call Imam, if you get a chance to speak to him then please make sure you are in control of the conversation otherwise he will want to hang up/won't give you a chance to speak. I did that and got to speak for so long! Distract him when he wants to hang up. You know how Immu is!😆
Anupamaa
