The post caused a frenzy among the Bollywood actor's fans over the racial description of the French football team.
Many netizens accused the actor of reducing the French players to the colour of their skin and highlighted that the athletes should be recognised by their nationality rather than race.
After the scrutiny, Amitabh seemingly acknowledged his mistake and shared how every day is a learning opportunity in his new blog post.

Addressing the backlash, Amitabh penned in his Tumblr post, "Every day is an education .. every day is a fresh and new learning .. every day is cherished for the opportunities it gives to be able to comply with the change and the new."
"Learning is divine .. what was unknown and left to specialists, is good, one must have the ability to pick up whatever the ones that have the knowledge and experience, convey.. nothing like understanding the self and the meaning of it, it shall ever reflect upon your .. YOUR understanding and reading and your own reckoning," he added.
Further in the blog post, Amitabh wrote that admitting one's mistake is not wrong and that the most refined way to end the debate "is to finally tell the other: 'You know! you may be right'."
