Bachchan said he twice sent greetings to Dhoni but the Indian skipper 'must have been busy' with the IPL to find time to respond to his SMS.

"Knowing his closeness to Dhoni, I complained to John (Abraham) about Mahi not responding to the message of greeting I had sent him on his decoration of the Padma Shree," he wrote on his blog on 'Bigadda.Com'.

"He (Abraham) said he shall connect me immediately. I stopped him and asked him to look up at the TV - Chennai is playing with Rajasthan Royals and Dhoni is very much on the field in South Africa!!" he said.

Dhoni and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh have been honoured with Padma Shree this year, but the duo missed the award ceremony and invited the wrath of Sports Minister M S Gill among many others.
