Often known to take to his blog, he recently answered the much-asked question in a long penned note. Beginning his blog, Bachchan Sr. expressed that he doesn’t know how to address the question as he doesn’t have a specific answer. He went on to share that he is often asked why he continues to work on the sets of his projects and added that while he doesn’t have an answer for it, it is simply a fact that he is presented with “another job opportunity.” ALSO READ: When Jaya Bachchan Called Amitabh Bachchan 'Family's Biggest Baby' For THIS Reason – Read To Know BELOW
Quoted by India.com, the Brahmastra actor said, “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.” ALSO READ: ‘34 Years Back’: Ram Gopal Varma Shares An OLD Magazine Cover Terming Amitabh Bachchan ‘Finished’
Bachchan went on to express that his reasons for working continuously might not align with others, but they are given the “right to express,” and that their concern for him is often heard. He added, “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.”
He 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.”
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in multi-starrer Kalki 2898 AD. He essayed the role of Ashwatthama in the sci-fi actioner mythology-based film, which was lauded by the audiences as well as the critics. Currently hosting his quiz-based reality show, Kaun Banega Crorepati season 16, he recently filmed the Ganpati Utsav special episode. He also has a few other projects in his pipeline.
