Taking to his Instagram handle, Amitabh shared another video where he addressed a recent mistake, saying, “A few days ago, I made a video pledging not to litter, and I spoke in Marathi. However, my pronunciation in Marathi was incorrect.” He went on to mention that his friend Sudesh Bhosale had pointed out the error.
