Kareena Kapoor Khan has received a legal notice for using the word “Bible” in the title of her memoir, where the actor has distilled her opinions on women’s health, according to an NDTV report. Titled Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible: The Ultimate Manual for Moms-To-Be, the book was published in 2021.

A single-judge bench from the Madhya Pradesh High Court issued the notice on advocate Christopher Anthony’s petition, to register a case against the actor and the book’s sellers. The court has sought an answer from the actor as regards the reason behind using the word ‘Bible’ in her memoir. After the petitioner demanded a ban on the book’s sale, the publishers have also been issued notices by the court.

Anthony, a social activist from Jabalpur, MP, has stated that the use of the word “Bible” in the memoir’s title is hurtful to the sentiments of Christians. He opined, “Bible is the holy book of Christianity all over the world and it is wrong to compare Khan’s pregnancy with the Bible.”

The petitioner moved to the lower court to file a complaint against Kareena after the police rejected to register an FIR against the actor. The lower court also declined his petition on grounds that he failed to establish how the use of the word “Bible” in the title was offensive.

The 43-year-old has two children — Taimur (7) and Jeh Ali Khan (3) — with husband, actor Saif Ali Khan.

We reached out to the actor’s manager and team, and Juggernaut Books, but were met with no response till the time of going to press.
