For megastar Amitabh Bachchan, the acting profession comes without any ego hassles.
The 72-year-old took to his official blog to post his views following the Shamitabh promotions in Dubai. The film revolves around two individuals, who come together for a purpose, but drift apart due to their ego.
"NO, we do not have conditions of ego in our profession, at least I do not, I do not know of the others. I cannot understand ego - self-importance, self-conceit - I do not have importance, or any indication of my conceit, whatever that word means," Big B wrote.
"I am but an ordinary individual much like all, just doing another job to earn a living, ego does not exist for me," he further said.
The actor who has garnered appreciation and love from all the quarters with his exceptional performances in movies like
Don, Black, Deewar, Agneepath and
Paa in his over four decade career span, also noted that he is still learning the art to emote on screen.
NOOOOOO... I have none, I am still learning, I am given a character to emote and perform. The director guides me to deliver my lines after hearing me rehearse a million times in private and in person. Where the heck in all this, does it give us time for EGO," he added.
Currently, the screen icon is gearing up for R Balki's movie
Shamitabh which also features Tamil superstar Dhanush in a key role and marks debut of Kamal Haasan's daughter Akshara. The film is set to release on February 6.
