Kareena Kapoor Served Legal Notice Over Fashion Statement On Historical Pendant With Quranic Verse

Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesperson Abbas Hafeez has served Kareena Kapoor Khan a legal notice over a historic Bhopal royal emerald pendant she wore during Diwali. The 30-carat emerald necklace, an heirloom from Saif Ali Khan’s family, is carved with Ayat-ul-Kursi, a verse from the Quran. Hafeez has alleged that using the sacred verse as a fashion accessory hurts religious sentiments and has demanded the photos be deleted along with a public apology. The notice has also drawn reactions from other groups. A local Hindu organisation has questioned the choice of wearing a royal Islamic heirloom on Diwali. Neither Kareena nor her stylist, Rhea Kapoor, has issued an official response so far.
