Kareena Kapoor gets HC notice for using word ‘Bible’ in title of book on pregnancy

The petitioner, lawyer Christopher Anthony, sought a criminal case against Khan and others for allegedly hurting Christian sentiments through the title of the book

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued a notice to actor Kareena Kapoor Khan on a petition objecting to the word “Bible” being used in the title of her book on pregnancy.

The petitioner, lawyer Christopher Anthony, sought a criminal case against Khan and others for allegedly hurting Christian sentiments through the title of the book “Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible: The Ultimate Manual for Moms-To-Be”.

“Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan launched a book which is named as ‘Pregnancy Bible’, the word Bible is the name of the holy book in Christianity…there is a lot of anger in the society regarding this…High Court took cognisance and issued notice to Kareena Kapoor Khan, Amazon…and sought answers. They have been given time till July 1,” Anthony said.

Anthony demanded that the book be banned and the word Bible be removed from its title.

Kareena, who is a mother of two children, had announced that she’s writing a book about pregnancy on the birthday of her first child, Taimur, in 2020.

In 2021, taking to Instagram, Kareena spoke about her pregnancy experience while giving a glimpse of her book.

“There were good days and bad days; some days I was raring to go to work and others where I struggled to get out of bed. This book is a very personal account of what I experienced both physically and emotionally through both my pregnancies,” she wrote.

Kareena, who shares two sons with actor Saif Ali Khan, considers her book as her third child.

“I can’t believe that I actually agreed to write this book… but here it is. We all have our own unique experiences as expectant mothers, but there are some similarities and with this book, I’m sharing my experiences and learnings, and hope that in some way this will help you on your journey towards motherhood,” she said.

“Carrying both my babies has been the most special time in my life, and I am excited to share the moments and memories with you,” she shared.

UNICEF India recently announced Kareena as its new National Ambassador.

On the movie front, Kareena is currently basking in the success of ‘Crew’, in which she shared screen space with Kriti Sanon and Tabu.
