/> TheOn 16 June, India's biggest entertainer gets honoured on a posh international forum one more time.

Says the Big B, "I'm going to be out of the country again next month. I leave for the UK early in June. On 6, 7, 8 & 9 to Yorkshire for IIFA. Then I go to London for the BAFTA (British Academy of Film & Television Arts) awards in London. They're honouring me over the weekend on 16 and 17 June with a retrospective of my films."

A list of films is being finalized. " After the screenings there'll be special question and answer sessions thrown open to the press and public," informs AB.

Over-booked as he is with commitment at home and abroad, the Big B is still looking forward to this event. "It's good to be recognized for one's work by any kind of award.

To me the recognition I get at home is as important as being honoured abroad. But BAFTA is a very prestigious instutition. Last year they had honoured Mr Yash Chopra. This year it's me. That must mean something."
