Kareena Kapoor's Royal Pendant Sparks Legal Notice

Kareena Kapoor has received a legal notice after objections were raised by social activist Abbas Hafeez and members of the Muslim community. The core of the controversy lies in Kapoor's choice to wear a historic Bhopal royal pendant for a Diwali celebration.

This significant piece of jewelry features the 'Ayat-ul-Kursi,' the 255th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah from the Holy Quran. The pendant, described as a 30-carat emerald, originally belonged to the Begum of Bhopal and was inherited by Kapoor through her marriage to Saif Ali Khan.

Stylist Rhea Kapoor highlighted the heirloom nature of the pendant and a 200-year-old kalgi, noting they come from Saif Ali Khan's family lineage. Kapoor herself shared photos of her Diwali look, captioning it as 'Diwali is all about traditions done right.'
