Just when we thought we would watch Kareena sizzling on stage with her belly dance at the IIFA '2009 Awards, she disappointed us by going to England with Saif instead.
Bebo was all set to perform to the tunes of a song from Billu with a Turkish-Arabian feel. The hot actress was learning belly dancing for the event from noted choreographer Shiamak Dawar. Manish Malhotra had exclusively designed a harem pant outfit for Bebo for the occasion. She was quite excited about the performance, but opted out at the last moment.
After Kareena, it was Bipasha who joined the belly dance bandwagon. The Bong bombshell learnt belly dancing when she got a one-month break from work recently. Bips had this wish list of driving, swimming and belly dancing to learn in her free time, of which she brushed up the first two and then proceeded to the third. The actress states that it is not for any particular film; it is just something that she has wanted to learn for quite some time. As Bips puts it, "This flat tummy is going to get flatter, just wait and watch!"
Happy belly dancing, Bips!
