Amitabh Bachchan shared that he is often asked why he continues to work despite being 81. The actor has been active in the Indian film industry for the past 55 years.

Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan lit up Hindi cinema in the 1970s after making his debut with the film Saat Hindustani in 1969. He has been working tirelessly for the past 55 years and continues to entertain his fans, which makes many wonder how Amitabh is managing to work even at 81. The actor answered the query in his latest blog post.

Amitabh, who is currently busy with the sixteenth season of the TV quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, wrote on his blog that on the set of the show, he is often asked "the reason for me to be working." The actor explained that he is working for the simple reason that he has been getting work.

"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,” wrote Amitabh Bachchan.

He added, "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 .. and the ‘impotency of content’ compels you to build your own sand castles and enjoy its manufacturing .. in time sandcastles fall down."

The 81-year-old actor, who recently shot the Ganpati Utsav special episode of KBC 16, concluded his post with the words, "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."

Amitabh Bachchan was recently appreciated for his performance as Ashwatthama in Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD. The actor has Vettaiyan with Rajinikanth in the pipeline, along with a few other films.
