Amitabh Bachchan reveals the reason behind taking up projects even at the age of 81. Scroll down to read more.
Amitabh Bachchan is one of those actors who has been entertaining audiences for decades. Over the years, Big B has delivered some of the biggest hits in the industry. Now, despite being 81 years old, the veteran actor continues to work, leading many to wonder when he will retire. However, Big B has provided a definitive answer to this question in a long note. He began his blog by stating that he doesn’t have a specific answer to this question, except for the fact that “it’s another job opportunity for me… what else could possibly be the reason.”
Addressing the topic, Amitabh wrote, “They keep asking me on set why I continue to work, and I have no answer for this, except that it’s another job opportunity for me… what else could possibly be the reason? Others have their own assessment of situations and conditions and often like to apply their model as the prime one. 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 to work,” wrote Amitabh Bachchan.
He added, “My work was given to me… when it is given to you, answer that question. My reasons may not align with yours, but because the right to express has been given multiple channels of presence, you are heard. You spoke, I heard, I gave my reason for continuing to work… that is me. What reason I have is mine, enclosed, shuttered, and locked. And the ‘impotency of content’ compels you to build your own sandcastles and enjoy their construction. In time, sandcastles fall down.”
The 81-year-old actor, who recently filmed the Ganpati Utsav special episode of KBC 16, concluded his post by saying, “May those who build them find a measure of permanence. 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.”
Amitabh Bachchan was recently seen in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. The movie turned out to be a massive hit among fans. Amitabh Bachchan also has Vettaiyan with Rajinikanth in the pipeline, along with a few other films.
