Having cast the first vote, Kareena Kapoor said: “It is a great privilege that has been bestowed upon me to cast the first vote and inaugurate the 12th IIFA voting weekend. IIFA has set a high standard with its voting procedure and has hence established a benchmark for excellence and credibility.

They share a long history of animosity. Kareena Kapoor and Bipasha Basu have always had cold vibes towards each other. But during IIFA in Colombo, Kareena forgot her past differences and personally invited Bipasha to a rather private party hosted by her and boyfriend Saif Ali Khan.

A lot of other celebs like Hrithik Roshan, Fardeen Khan, Vivek Oberoi and Jacqueline Fernandez were also invited at the party, but it was Kareena and Bipasha who were the centre of attention. The two ladies were pretty cordial towards each other and chatted about films and fashion.

There has a been a lot of speculation as to why Bollywood superstar, Kareena Kapoor will not be seen at the IIFA this year.

At first it was reported that Kareena was supposed to perform the song Marjani from Billu at the IIFA 2009 ceremony. However, it is now confirmed that not only is she not performing but has also refused to attend the event all together

Kareena, it is reported, wanted the IIFA event to open and close with her performances, but the organisers weren’t ready to let her occupy both their key spots, as at least one is kept reserved for the Bachchans, since Big B is the brand ambassador of IIFA.
