So the IIFA awards were interesting this year, bringing some Bollywood folk together (like Shahid Kapoor and Bipasha Basu; Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor) in a different country, while they would – under normal circumstances – avoid each other when at home. As you may have noticed, an interesting encounter occurred when Saif Ali Khan, Kareena and Shahid ended up on stage together during the ceremony. But that was not the only thing: Saif was also assigned seating right between Kareena and Hrithik Roshan, who dated once upon a time! Talk about awkward.

Someone wrote in on Twitter asking what the reaction was to this seating, and here’s what I know: Saif was grumpy when he learned about the seating, and irritated that the organisers put him and Bebo next to Hrithik. He even spoke to someone about changing seats, but by that time it was too late as everyone had already been given designated seats.
