Actress Juhi Chawla says the scare of swine flu made her cancel her Holi plans this year, especially since her children have their exam season.
While most Bollywood celebrities enjoyed the festival of colours Friday, Juhi found herself without the "pichkaris and excited kids".
Juhi took to her micro-blogging website Twitter account to share with fans, her disappointment at not being able to play Holi like she used to in the past years.
"Every year we have water pools and pichkaris, excited kids, friends and me all over our garden! This year cancelled! Scare of swine flu and Ongoing exams at school , unusual changing weather !! Grrrrr...what a bummer! Anyway...HAPPY HOLI to all who are playing," the 47-year-old posted on her Twitter page on Thursday.
Juhi is currently the brand ambassador for Sony PAL channel.
