"They ask 'why do you do it' and I say 'why not' .. there is no further argument after this," Bachchan wrote, emphasizing the personal nature of motivation that defies external justification.

Inner Truth Versus External Debate

The legendary actor further elaborated that the reasons behind one's actions are known only to the inner self. While explanations and justifications may exist, they often become entangled in endless debates rather than reflecting genuine truth.

Bachchan emphasized: "Why one does what he does is known by his inner self. Any demonstration or a justifiable response could well be part of the correctness of the debate, but in the end, it is 'you' and none other."

He added that at his stage in life, what matters most are the essentials that remain close: "your pen, your computer, your phone, your daily routines, and YOU."

Navigating Truth in the Information Age

On Tuesday, the thespian also reflected on the overwhelming surge of information in today's world, noting that the line between truth and falsehood has become increasingly blurred. He observed that this distinction often gets lost in the noise of external influences, leaving individuals in a constant search for clarity and authenticity amidst the chaos.
