In a recent development, Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan finds herself embroiled in a legal tussle over the title of her much-acclaimed pregnancy memoir, “Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible.” The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued a notice to the actress in response to a petition challenging the usage of the word “bible” in the book’s title.
Advocate Christopher Anthony filed the petition, asserting that the term “bible” carries religious connotations and should not be used frivolously. The petition further demands legal action against Kareena Kapoor Khan and the book’s sellers, citing the potential for religious sentiments to be hurt by the title.
