What could be the reason?

And, it was in one of his latest posts that he revealed people ask him the reason behind working till date. "They keep asking me on set of work .. the reason for me to be working .. and I have no answers for this , except it's another job opportunity for me .. what else could possibly be the reason," he wrote.
