Kareena Kapoor gets legal notice from Congress leader over Quran-inscribed royal pendant

Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has been served a legal notice by Congress leader and national media coordinator Abbas Hafeez over wearing a 30-carat emerald pendant bearing Ayat-ul-Kursi, a verse from the Quran, as part of her Diwali look. The notice, dated November 11, was also sent to celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor, who styled Kareena and described the pendant as an heirloom of the erstwhile Bhopal royal family. The notice objects to the manner in which the sacred Quranic inscription was presented in the photographs shared on social media. It seeks the removal of the photographs, videos and posts from the accounts under their control, a public apology and an assurance that the inscription would not be presented in a manner that could compromise its religious sanctity.
