Saif Ali Khan had not arrived yet to attend the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards gala here, and girlfriend Kareena Kapoor was found having a gala time riding an auto rickshaw with good friend Tusshar Kapoor.

Kareena and Tusshar, who were together in the 2001 film 'Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai', seemed to be having a blast with two other friends.

The actress, dressed casually in a T-shirt and jeans, had pulled her hair back and tied it in a bun. She was probably in a mood for some adventure and it seemed as though she had returned from her rehearsals.

Kareena gave a scintillating performance on songs from her films 'Jab We Met' and 'Tashan' on the final day of the IIFA awards Sunday. She also won the best actress awards for her performance in 'Jab We Met'.

Saif did not arrive when the event got off on Friday. He made a surprise entry Sunday at the green carpet of the finale for Kareena.

The IIFA, in its ninth edition, aims to promote brand Bollywood beyond Indian shores. It has travelled across three continents and eight countries since its inception in 2000. Last year it was held in Yorkshire.
