Saif implied the reason yesterday on tv. And I talked to a friend who has a media source who confirmed it.
Kareena WAS signed on to do the grand finale. And then suddenly a few days ago, the bachans scheduled themselves (or one of em) to be the finale and shifted her act back. Previously they werent performing, but then Aish was doing a solo, and abhi, and then they shifted their performances as the finale. And kareena wasnt too happy about that since she was promised the finale when she signed on. But I guess the organizers obviously listened to the bachans and kareena dropped out. I got a similar story from another source and it pretty much says the same thing, that a lot of stars were pissed about that.
And saif also confirmed it on tv indirectly.
From someone who saw him on tv.

"well it was like this

They asked him why he isnt doing an act to do with LAK on the awards night as IIFA is popular to promote films

Saifuu said...Bachchan's have taken up the Finale act as always ..God I loved the smile on his face when he said that and someone else had booked the first act & he didnt want his act to be slammed in the middle somewhere which nobody even cares about

Then they asked him that wasnt Kareena meant to do the last act & He laughed and said yes she learnt belly dancing esp for IIFA but the rest you wil have to ask her spokesperson
!! "
Grrrr, she even learned belly dancing? Aww man! What the hell, I wanted to see this performance. It would have been her only performance this year 😡
Here's the original articel, which left out the fact that she was originally supposed to perform the grand finale.

We will have to wait for another event to see her bellydancing

With many big stars backing out from attending the function due to some reason or the other, this weekend's IIFA awards in Macau seem to be losing its star power.

After Shahid Kapur and Akshay Kumar backed out of the show due to a shooting commitment and family holiday respectively, it is Kareena Kapoor who has said a no at the last minute.

The reason being that she is set to accompany beau Saif Ali Khan to the T20 World Cup in London, as it has a promotional tie up with Saif's home production "Love Aaj Kal".

Her belly dance act at IIFA was highly anticipated and Kareena was ready with her rehearsals and costumes, so the organisers were shocked when she backed out.

Kareena was even offered a huge amount for her performance.

However, the insiders from IIFA site different reasons for her refusal. The first being that Kareena wanted her performance to be a part of the opening or at the finale. But the organisers flatly refused as the finale would be performed by the Bachchan family.

Another reason was Shahid and Priyanka's performance. But now Shahid would be unable to attend because of a shoot and Priyanka too has refused to perform.

Kareena's manager confirmed the news and even agreed that there were differences between the organisers and Kareena, which could not be settled hence Kareena decided to give the awards a skip

IF this is true than IIFA has become a biased awards show and that is not right.👎🏼If it continues soon no star is going to attend the shows anymore.
Damn,,..IIFA was one of my FAV awards show-They rocked in the years 2004/05/06/07!

O rly?

a friend of mine whose cousin is best friends with CEO of a media company told me that Kareena had to pull out because she couldn't do any of the belly dancing moves, then decided she will get her PR to spread false rumors and then blame everything on everyone's favorite whipping family the Bachchans

I know Rhea, IIFA's gone down teh drain. This year is the WORST.
There's no one attending. I saw on T.V allt he ppl standing outside were like waitng to see sallu, srk, akki, bebo, and other stars...none of which were attending.

Yeah, kareena wont take shit from anyone, lol.
If she's offered a deal, and she's professional enough to comply by their terms, then its outright unprofessional to shove another act in at the end and shift all the "lesser" stars to accomodate hte "first royal and true family fo bollywood".
Glad she dropped. ANd if shahid did as well, kudos to him too.
These stars have their own demand and fan following. ANd i'm sure they can perform in other award ceremonies as well. Ones that actually have CELEBRITIES IN THE AUDIENCE, lol
iifa attendence:

actresses
ash, priyanka, lara, sushmita, bipasha, sonam, genelia, anushka

actors
abhishek. hrithik, arjun, zayed, amitabh, rajesh khanna
Compare that to the stars at the filmfare awards this year 😆

Some people should know, that the Bachchans are not that Mahan. You have to talk to ANYONE that's in the media or knows them personally, they'll tell you all sort of stories.

Desu, Bebo is destined for greater things. I am sure you'll see her belly dance at another event....or even a movie. :)
