NEW DELHI (Web Desk) – Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has been served a legal notice over wearing an emerald necklace engraved with Ayat-ul-Kursi, a verse from the Holy Quran.
According to Indian media reports, Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesperson Abbas Hafeez has sent the legal notice to the actress and her stylist, Rhea Kapoor.
Kareena shared photographs on social media during Diwali celebrations, wearing traditional attire and an emerald necklace featuring the Quranic verse.
In the legal notice, Hafeez argued that using Quranic verses as fashion accessories could hurt religious sentiments.
He demanded that the photographs be immediately removed from social media and that the actress issue an unconditional public apology.
Hafeez warned that legal action would be taken through the police or court if the demands were not fulfilled.
Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor have not issued any formal response to the matter so far.
