Amitabh on signing projects at this age. Amitabh Bachchan: "I Work... PERIOD!" The Legend Responds to Questions About His Longevity in Bollywood.

Amitabh Bachchan, the iconic Bollywood superstar who lit up the silver screen in the 1970s and continues to enthrall audiences today, recently addressed the ever-present question of how he manages to work tirelessly at the age of 81.

In his latest blog post, Amitabh revealed that he's often asked about his reasons for working on the set of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), the popular television quiz show he's currently hosting for its sixteenth season.

With characteristic wit and wisdom, Amitabh explained that his reason for working is simple: "It's another job opportunity for me... what else could possibly be the reason?" He further reflected on the differing perspectives of those who question his continued presence in the industry, acknowledging that they have the "liberty" to form their own opinions.

"My work was given to me... when it is given to you, answer that question," Amitabh wrote, emphasizing that his reasons for working may not align with everyone's expectations. He continued, "What reason I have is mine... enclosed, shuttered and locked," asserting his right to his own motivations.

The 81-year-old actor, who recently shot a special Ganpati Utsav episode of KBC, concluded his post with a firm declaration: "I WORK... PERIOD... got a problem with that? well then... get to work and find out."

His message resonates with his dedication to his craft and his unwavering commitment to entertaining his fans. Amitabh, whose recent performance as Ashwatthama in Kalki 2898 AD garnered praise, has multiple projects in the pipeline, including Vettaiyan with Rajinikanth.

Amitabh's words serve as a powerful testament to his enduring passion and his belief in the power of work. His legacy in Bollywood continues to inspire generations of actors and fans alike.
