Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most prominent actresses, has recently found herself at the center of a legal controversy due to the title of her book, Pregnancy Bible. The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued a legal notice to Kareena in response to objections raised over the use of the term “Bible” in the book’s title. The petitioner, identified as Anthony, filed a complaint, arguing that the title is inappropriate and offensive to religious sentiments.

According to reports, Kareena’s legal team, comprising Divya Krishna Balaiya and Nikhil Bhatt, has strongly denied any intention to hurt religious feelings. They appeared before the court to clarify that the book was not meant to offend any community and that the title was chosen without any malice. Despite these assertions, the controversy has sparked widespread debate and criticism.
The legal battle began earlier this year when Kareena received the notice from the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Anthony’s petition demanded a ban on the book, claiming that the title was a publicity stunt aimed at generating attention for the actress and her publication. He initially approached the police to file an FIR against Kareena, but when the authorities refused, he took the matter to the court.
The court has scheduled the next hearing for December 10, 2024, where the arguments surrounding the book’s title will be further examined. Meanwhile, the case has drawn significant attention on social media, with various users expressing their opinions on the matter. On platforms like Reddit, some users have criticized Kareena for what they perceive as a tone-deaf approach to the issue, particularly in light of her celebrity status.
This controversy highlights the challenges celebrities face when their work intersects with religious and cultural sensitivities. As the legal proceedings continue, the case of Kareena Kapoor Khan and her Pregnancy Bible will likely remain a topic of discussion both within the legal community and among the public.
