Thanks,
Got it.
What happened was my script was
BEGIN {} {}
I was printing something in the second brace which now comes in the scope of file, thats why it was not printing when the file was empty.
But now i have another problem.
Can i print variables in BEGIN clause.
because on combining the 2 braces my variables are not printing.
My script is:
awk -f file.awk a=xyz b=xyz file.txt
