So earlier today I told you how, as reported by a leading daily, former Bigg Boss contestant Imam Siddique has demanded a whooping sum of 1 crore rupees to appear on Bigg Boss 8 as a Wild Card entry. Imam has been using his social media to confirm this news and the particular article in question was retweeted by him on his personal profile.
However, Imam called us to clarify his quote. Apparently, the interviewer did not use Imam’s quote verbatim and that may have twisted the sense of his sentiment. Clarifying his quote, Imam said:
The social capital and media equity that my performance in Bigg Boss garnered for the channel is the reason why I am seeking an increase in my remuneration.
And not:
By virtue of the social media following that I have garnered, I deserve certain remuneration.
Duly noted.
The question remains the same – I would love to see Imam in the house and watch him recreate all the drama from season 6 but is Imam 1 crore worth of entertainment? Tell us in comments below!
