Now when the IIFA Awards in Macau are over, speculations are being raised as to why many celebrities chose to keep away from the ceremony. When the celebrities were on the fashion ramp & performing onstage in the IIFA Awards, Bebo was there with Saif in England. There were rumours that Bebo may perform belly dance in Macau. Saif was in England to cheer for the Indian cricket team in T20 world cup matches which has been lost by India.The buzz is that Kareena wanted her performance to mark the starting or the end of the function. But the organizers had no such plan. The grand finale performance was already booked for the Bachchans, Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya respectively.
Bebo decided to accompany Saif despite the fact that she was getting paid a whopping amount for IIFA performance. Not only was she learning belly dancing under Shiamak Davar, but had also finalized her dress for the performance. She was to dance to her song Marjani from ‘Billu’. Saif too wanted to use the platform of IIFA to promote ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and had thought of an international press meet but later dropped the idea.
Saif and Kareena are not the only ones who have opted out of IIFA. Shahrukh Khan has been giving his royal snub to IIFA for the last many years. Farah Khan also won’t attend the awards night as she’s choreographing a song for SRK in the US. And now, even Akshay Kumar has decided to miss this year’s IIFA as he’s taking his son on a holiday.
