The IIFA Fashion Extravaganza 2009 bore witness to the film honcho Amitabh Bachchan turning ace-photographer as Bachchan gleefully captured many memorable moments on camera. Seated on the premier row with wife Jaya, who was earlier strongly rumoured to be absent and son Abhishek, Amitabh with his clicking skills seemed to have given the shutterbugs a run for their money. Aishwarya Rai was visibly absent from the event as she was busy honing up her dancing skills for the upcoming performance on the finale night.

Definitely a classic and style-personified affair as celebs took to the ramp to showcase the talent of top line designers from India and Macau in the Fashion Extavaganza.
The event was hosted by Sophie Chaudhary and Zayed Khan who did their scripted best to keep the tempo high through the show. The show commenced with the Videocon sponsored mobile phone company unleashing their upcoming, top-of-the-line two models of cell phones that were personally signed by Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor with the purpose of being auctioned for collecting money, the proceeds of which are forwarded to the less fortunate workers in the film making line who have faced mishaps in the due process.

Those with bated breaths to catch the sizzling belly dance number of the lissom Kareena Kapoor to the song ‘Marjani’ from ‘Billu Barber’ will be left will fraught feelings as the oh-so-professional actress has dumped the show in the last few days preceding the event, with reports citing a muddle between the event organisers and the Billu babe.
