I do not think we are anybody to tell others to retire or how to handle their lives and career.
Amitabh Bachchan is already the legend. He has nothing to prove. He is beyond hits and flops. Movies, stage, TV, he proved himself everywhere. A few flops cannot affect his stature.
I and many others find it inspirational that he is still so active, alive and kicking till date and so excited about his work.
It is everyone's dream to die with boots on. Nobody should simply sit at home and do nothing!
Besides Amitabh Bachchan is still getting good offers from good banners, his KBC is still a success (14 years and still a TRP grabber!), he gets solid roles and not mere character roles then why should he give up? Not everybody gets offers. Most oldies get attention only at their funeral! It's Amitabh's achievement and speciality that he is not among those people.
I saw somebody's tweet to him the other day. She said he inspired her to live to the fullest. That's what his accomplishment is! His working till date is a positive sign. It is an encouragement to people.
I read his interview where he said he loved his work and constantly working kept him fit otherwise he felt sick at home. I agree with him. If one keeps doing what he loves, he dwells less on problems. It is far better to be positively distracted with work than sit at home looking at medical prescriptions or only relive old times.
That is also a point that he suffered near bankruptcy in 90s so he does not want such a situation to ever arise again and stays motivated to work.
I feel he should keep working as long as he can. It is thanks to him in many ways that better roles are being written for senior actors and seniors have greater acceptance both on TV and in films. That is a welcome change and will only help all actors in future.
Creative people are hungry and never stop. Lata ji and Asha ji still cut albums. They have not stopped singing no matter how much their voices changed now. It is upto us whether to lap up their work or not, we might get bored but they cannot get bored with their craft or give it up.
There should be no limits to work. Work is always a good thing whether it yields success or not.
Shamitabh may or may not succeed, but Amitabh working and promoting with such zeal even at this age is a matter of prestige in itself. I would only wish Amitabh and every senior artiste good luck and good health.
