All for a good cause: Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan at the Bachchan's Holi bash last year Do me a favour, let NOT play Holi!" jokes the Bachchan... and with reason. Anu Malik's hit Holi song Do me a favour let's play holi from the AB-starrer Waqt, will just have to wait until next year.

There is no Holi at the Bachchans this year. Says Mr Bachchan, "There won't be any celebrations this year because of the devastations caused by Tsunami.

We'll miss all our friends from the industry who kindly visit us on Holi and join in the celebrations. Celebrations seem out of place when Nature has played such a cruel joke on people."

On a less somber note, Mr Bachchan met up with Hillary Clinton last week.

"That's right. She was in Delhi where I attended the India Today conclave. I spoke on entertainment. She was there as one of the speakers. We had an informal meeting."

According to a report in a daily Mrs Clinton had seen Mr Bachchan's films. "That isn't quite true. She had heard about my work. But it's her secretary who's a fan of my work. She has virtually seen all my films. Mrs Clinton was aware of me through her."

And now AB has a large retrospective coming up at the prestigious Lincoln Film Centre. "They've decided to pay a tribute to my repertoire. Ten of my films including Deewaar, Agneepath, and of course Black will be screened. "I've had retro-festivals in Amsterdam, Egypt, London...but never in America. I shall be there for five days in the first week of April. There'll be interactive sessions with the audience."
