The
Buckingham
Palace
is
all
set
to
host
a
grand
UK-India
cultural
event
and
as
per
reports,
Queen
Elizabeth
2
and
Prince
Philip,
Duke
of
Edinburgh
have
sent
out
a
royal
invitation
to
Amitabh
Bachchan
to
launch
the
cultural
extravaganza.
However,
it
is
reported
that
Big
B
has
politely
declined
the
offer
due
to
prior
commitments.
The
event
is
set
to
take
place
on
February
27
at
the
Buckingham
Palace.
Amitabh
Bachchan's
publicist
said
in
a
statement,
"Yes,
Mr
Bachchan
has
been
extended
a
rare
invitation
by
Queen
Elizabeth
and
Buckingham
Palace
to
grace
the
UK-India
Cultural
Year
reception.
Unfortunately,
however,
he
will
be
unable
to
attend
due
to
prior
commitments."
Big
B
is
currently
busy
with
Thugs
Of
Hindostan,
Sarkar
3,
Dragon
and
Aankhen
2
and
all
these
commitments
made
him
decline
the
invitation
from
the
royal
family.
Also,
we'll
have
to
wait
and
watch
if
they
would
send
out
a
few
more
invitations
to
other
Bollywood
stars
to
launch
the
cultural
event.
Last
year
Prince
William
and
Kate
Middleton
had
visited
India
and
a
lot
of
B-town
celebrities
had
gathered
together
to
meet
the
couple
and
dine
with
them.
They
received
a
warm
reception
and
love
which
they
will
never
forget.
