Megastar Amitabh Bachchan said on Sunday that many of his colleagues often asked him why he continued to work even at this age, and frankly, he did not have any answer other than that it was another job opportunity.
People have the freedom to form their own conclusions about my professional life, so I have the freedom to keep on working," said the 81-year-old, who is currently hosting the 16th season of popular game show "Kaun Banega Crorepati".
Bachchan wrote about it in a post on his personal blog: ". they keep asking me on set of work. the reason for me to be working. and I have no answers for this, except it's another job opportunity for me. what else could possibly be the reason .".
"Others have their own judgement of occasions and circumstances, and more often than not like to exercise their model to be prime. wear my shoes, and find out. maybe you are right .and maybe not. you have the liberty to have your conclusions and I have the liberty of my work. (sic)" The cinema veteran said while his reason is "enclosed, shuttered and locked" somewhere, he encouraged people to better start working to figure out why he keeps himself busy with work.
". and the 'impotency of content' compels you to build your own sand castles and enjoy its manufacturing. in time sandcastles fall down. may you that build them, find a measure of permanency. if it has been built for you and your business. mine is done and it stands still - I WORK. PERIOD. got a problem with that ? well then. get to work and find out. (sic)" he said.
Bachchan was last seen in the blockbuster movie "Kalki 2898 AD". He will now be seen in the Rajinikanth-starrer "Vettaiyan".
