However, there are few people who most often raise irrelevant questions like why Amitabh Bachchan needs to work even at the age of 81. Well, now, Big B has responded to such people who wished for an answer from the acting legend about being active in his work profession.
The OG Don of Indian cine industry penned down a long note for people asking 'the reason for him to be working.' On Sunday, Big B took to his blog and wrote, "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 assessment of occasions and conditions, and often 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."
Further, his post read, "My work was given to me .. when it is given to you, answer that question .. my reasons may not agree with you .. but because the right to express has been given multiple tunnels of presence, you are heard ..you said, I heard, I gave reason for working on .. that is me ..what reason I have is mine .. enclosed shuttered and locked."
"Got a problem with that?"
"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," Big B's post concluded.
Undeniably, Amitabh Bachchan is a powerhouse of energy and talent. Aspiring and existing actors consider Big B as an institution in himself. He has been actively working in the industry for over five decades and has won the hearts of generations through his impeccable performances in different genres. A couple of days ago, actor Ajay Devgn said that Amitabh Bachchan is intelligent, normal and sane today because he is working even at this age.
“I also believe – and I hope everybody believes this as well – that till whatever age you live, you keep working. The moment you stop working and decide to chill in life, you will age three times faster than what you are ageing. Look at Mr (Amitabh) Bachchan. He loves to work, he’s continuously working at this age also. He’s intelligent, normal, sane today also, only because he’s working.”
Normally, people at this age tend to develop cognitive and physical issues along with chronic illness and neurological changes. Moreover, they get socially isolated. However, Amitabh Bachchan has defied the age barriers and is still working relentlessly. His unwavering commitment to his profession has set new standards and will keep on inspiring generations.
