I have the liberty of my work: Amitabh Bachchan

Taking to his blog, Amitabh Bachchan 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." He continued that others have their own assessment of occasions, but urged them to once think from his perspective.

“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,” Big B added. He concluded his blog by writing, "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."
