A Christian group has raised an objection against the title of a book written by Kareena Kapoor Khan and filed a police complaint in Beed city of Maharashtra. The complaint is filed against Kareena and two others on Wednesday, citing that the name of the book has hurt the religious sentiments of the community, an official said.
Ashish Shinde, President of Alpha Omega Christian Mahasangh submitted the complaint at Shivaji Nagar Police Station in Beed over the book, ‘Pregnancy Bible.’
In the complaint, Ashish has referred to the title of the book, ‘Pregnancy Bible’, authored by actress Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aditi Shah Bhimjani, which is published by Juggernaut Books.
“The holy word ‘Bible’ has been used in the book’s title and this has hurt religious sentiments of Christians”, he stated.
Ashish Shinde has sought registration of a case under IPC section 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) against the actress and the two others.
Police Inspector confirmed receiving the complaint but said no FIR has been filed. Shivaji Nagar Police Station in charge Inspector Sainath Thombre told the news agency, “We have received the complaint but no case can be registered here as the incident has not happened here (in Beed). I have advised him to file a complaint in Mumbai.”
Kareena launched her book on pregnancy recently on July 9. Calling it her third child, actress, who gave birth to her second child, a baby boy, in February this year, shared a series of posts on social media to promote the book.
Sharing her personal experience Kareena posted a video and wrote, “This has been quite the journey… both my pregnancies and writing my Pregnancy Bible. 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.”
“In many ways, this book is like my third child… from conception to its birth today. Published by @juggernaut.in and the amazing @chikisarkar, I’m proud to share that my Pregnancy Bible is vetted and approved by FOGSI, India’s official body of gynecologists and obstetricians, along with the help of several expert voices like @rujuta.diwekar, Dr. Sonali Gupta, and Dr. Prabha Chandra of NIMHANS,” she further added.
Kareena made the announcement on her elder son, Taimur Ali Khan’s fourth birthday last year, that her book will be a comprehensive guide to pregnancy.
She wrote, “Today is the perfect day to announce my book- Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible for all you moms-to-be. I’ll talk about everything from morning sickness to diet and fitness and being a mom-on-the-go! I can’t wait for you to read it. To be published by Juggernaut Books in 2021.”
Kareena got married to actor Saif Ali Khan in 2012. The couple welcomed their firstborn, Taimur Ali Khan, in 2016 and welcomed their second son, Jeh, in February this year.
