Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has mostly backed out from answering questions about any political or social issue, says he likes to remain "ignorant" on such issues as he feels "complicating our lives for the benefit of another is not a welcome sign".
"As the years pass by one finds it difficult to avoid the general questions from the media on matters of politics and society on country and concern for it...we remain ignorant of such...at least I do...and we create our own little garageband, to enjoy the life like some others," the former member of parliament posted on his blog on Sunday.
"Complicating our lives for the benefit of another is not a welcome sign...complicating it for the benefit of the needy is...and that we all must do," the "Piku" actor added.
The 73-year-old is currently hosting the TV show "Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi".
On the film front, he will be next seen in Bejoy Nambiar's "Wazir", which is slated for release on January 8, 2016.
