In a recent hearing at the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor apologized and clarified that she never intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments with the title of her book, The Pregnancy Bible. The book, which was launched on August 9, 2021, has come under scrutiny after a petition was filed against Kapoor, alleging that the title offended the religious sentiments of the Christian community.

During the court proceedings, Kareena stated that her choice of the title was not meant to be objectionable or disrespectful. She emphasized that her intention was solely to share her personal experiences with pregnancy and motherhood, not to offend any religious beliefs. The petition, filed by advocate Christopher Anthony in 2022, requested the court to file an FIR against Kapoor under sections 294 and 295 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and to halt the sale of her book.
The High Court, led by Justice M.S. Bhatti, recorded Kareena’s response and scheduled the next hearing for two weeks later. Kapoor’s legal team submitted her statement, highlighting that the book’s title was not meant to cause any harm or distress. They reiterated that the actress had no intention of offending anyone’s religious sentiments.
Kareena Kapoor had previously described The Pregnancy Bible as her “third child,” a book in which she candidly discussed the challenges and changes she experienced during her pregnancies. In an online conversation with filmmaker Karan Johar during the book’s launch, she revealed that her second pregnancy was particularly challenging compared to her first.
The ongoing legal battle raises important questions about freedom of expression and the fine line between creative expression and religious sensitivities in India. As the case continues, it remains to be seen how the court will rule on the matter. Meanwhile, Kareena’s fans and the public await the court’s decision, which will have significant implications for both the actress and the broader creative community.
