Why Bollywood biggies be giving IIFA '09 a miss

Mumbai: Even as the IIFA's 10th anniversary is being celebrated this year in Macau, ironically, almost all the top stars to have helped made IIFA the grandest Indian film awards show with their breathtaking performances over the years will give the ceremony a miss.

Here's the top 10 absentees listing from this years IIFA's.

At no 10 is the jodi of Karan johar and Farah Khan - both be busy with My Name is Khan while KJO is directing the movie Farah is getting SRK to move and shake to her steps, yet again.
At no 9, Rani Mukherjee hasn't be doing much lately but even she decided to give IIFA a miss this year

The 8th spot belongs to Preity Zinta - another actress who seems toward has almost retired - her latka jhatakas (shakes and twists) will be dearly missed

The 7th slot belongs to John '6 packs' Abraham who will also remain absent, much to the dismay of his female fans that have grown at an exponential rate since Dostana.

No. 6 belongs to fresh kids on the block Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan -
Ranbir almost agreed to perform at the awards but backed out later. If reports are near believed he didn't want to overexpose his new look - which he will be sporting for Rocket Singh. And Imran Khan's wont be present because of "Personal Reasons." We wonder if Mamu's had some "Personal" words with him after the Filmfare awards.

At no 5 and 4, he brings down the house each time he takes the stage but fans will ignore Shahid Kapur's scintillating performance this year as he's busy shooting for Vishal bharadwaj's Kaminey and Shahid's ex-flame Kareena Kapoor will also stay away from the ceremony as she joins beau Saif who's busy promoting his latest flick Love Aaj Kal at T20 world cup in England.

At no 3, Badboy Salman Khan is support on the small screen with Dus ka Dum season 2 and while that's a treat for his fans that is also the reason why rejected the orgainisers plea for a Sallu performance at Macau.

The Runner's up position goes to King Khan -over the past few years SRK chose to stay away from the IIFA as it was considered to be a Bachchan Family affair but while Big B buried the hatchet with Khan this year many expected the Badshah at Macau this year - but a vacation with his family and My name is Khan kept Shah Rukh away.

The numero uno is Khiladi Kumar who has been the real star of the IIFA awards over the years. His breathtaking performances will be dearly missed as he takes son Aarav also Wife Twinkle on a family vacation . Akshay was also busy promoting his latest Kambakht Ishq in Aamchi Mumbai.
