After backlash for ‘black’ comment on France football team, Amitabh Bachchan says admitting a ‘mistake’ is not wrong

He added, "Specialists can make a mistake , find excuses for it and carry on in a repair mode .. but doing it on your own reasoning and personal inputs gives you the hold on what we move on with or at least know that the mistake was ours ... admitting a mistake is not wrong .. it shows character .. once you have admitted it, the burden of its non function is better understood, and all debate on it ends ... there is no harm in getting into an argument and even when the other party is uncompromising, despite your knowing that you are right , the best way to end the debate is to finally tell the other: ‘You know ! you may be right.’

“The ‘other’ feels a conquest achieved .. and you stop wasting time on continued argument, by moving on and using what could have been a time consuming enterprise, to devote to something that you have faith and trust and knowledge of .. it may be wrong, it could be right , but it is YOURS. If it is the 'others’ … tell him so or tell them so .. they are elated .. you are free of any further time consuming arguing exercise,” he concluded.
