Since the Pink actor offered no context or explanation regarding his post, no one could understand its exact meaning. Consequently, in a recent episode of his iconic quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Big B asked the audience if they wanted to ask any questions. Taking the opportunity, one fan from the audience section inquired about the meaning behind that cryptic post. The question left Amitabh Bachchan confused as he couldn't understand what was wrong with it. Another fan helped him understand by asking where he wanted to go. Clarifying his reply, the megastar said: 

"Arre bhai sahab, humko kaam par jaane ka samay aagaya hai… gajab baat karte ho yaar! Aur raat ko jab 2 baje yahan se chhutti milti hai, toh ghar pahuchte-pahuchte 1-2 baj jaate hain. Woh likhte-likhte humko neend aa gayi, toh woh wahin tak reh gaya… Jaane ka waqt aur hum so gaye!"

Amitabh Bachchan opens up about people questioning him about working despite his advanced age 

Amitabh Bachchan previously shared a blog where he revealed that many people keep asking him why he continues to working. In his reply, the Kalki 2898 AD actor explained that he has no specific reason to explain on why he continues to work. It's just another opportunity to work for him, and he takes it. He added that people might have different opinions about his decision to work. However, they can't understand his perspective until they experience his situation. Big B penned: 

"They keep asking me about the set of work and the reason for me to be working, and I have no answers to 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."
