Kareena Kapoor Khan has recently been involved in a controversy over the title of her book, Pregnancy Bible. In response to a court notification issued by the Madhya Pradesh High Court in May, the actress maintained that she had no intention of upsetting religious sentiments.
The warning came after counsel Christopher Anthony filed a petition to prevent
the sale of Kareena's book. The Crew actress responded through her lawyers,
Divya Krishna Billaiya and Nikhil Bhatt, stating that she had no intention of
insulting anyone's religious views. Her response was to redirect the complaint
to the sale of her book, Pregnancy Bible, which she also referred to as her
'third child'.
Anthony, a Jabalpur-based social activist, commented that the title 'Bible'
appears to be disrespectful to the Christian community's beliefs. He quoted,
“The Bible is the holy book of Christianity and it is wrong to compare Kareena
Kapoor Khan's pregnancy with the Bible.”
The court had already rejected Anthony's appeal, claiming that he had failed to show how the phrase "bible" was offensive in Kareena's book. The man then filed an appeal with the Additional Sessions Court, which dismissed his petition as well. When the warning was finally issued to Kareena, the sellers and publishers received legal notifications as well.
Another Christian organization expressed concern about the title of Kareena's
book in 2021, causing a police complaint in Maharashtra's Beed against the
actress and two others for allegedly offending religious sensibilities. The
full legal issue is still to be handled in court.
In terms of her vocation, the diva is gearing up to release The Buckingham Murders, followed by Singham Again this year.
