Kareena Kapoor Khan served legal notice over Bhopal royal pendant

Kareena Kapoor Khan has been served with a legal notice over a 30-carat emerald pendant she wore as part of her Diwali look.

The pendant, linked to the former royal family of Bhopal, is engraved with Ayat-ul-Kursi, a verse from the Quran.

The notice was issued by Bhopal-based Congress leader Abbas Hafeez and also names celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor, who styled Kareena for the look.

Hafeez has objected to the way the Quranic inscription was presented in the social media photographs. He has sought the removal of the posts and a public apology.

The jewellery was described by Rhea as a 200-year-old Bhopal royal family heirloom passed down through Kareena’s husband, Saif Ali Khan’s family.

Hafeez has clarified that the notice was issued in his personal capacity and does not represent the Congress party’s position.

Neither Kareena nor Rhea has publicly commented on the notice.
