Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Diwali Emerald Pendant Sparks Row Over Quranic Verse, Congress Leader Sends Legal Notice | Watch
Bhopal: Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan's Diwali 2026 appearance has triggered a controversy over a 30-carat emerald pendant, a Bhopal royal heirloom bearing the Quranic verse Ayat-ul-Kursi. While Congress spokesperson Abbas Hafeez has sought the removal of her social media photographs and a public apology through a legal notice, the Hindu Utsav Samiti has extended its support to the actress.
Kareena Kapoor Khan's Diwali 30-carat emerald pendant has sparked controversy, as the stone is engraved with a verse from the Quran, Ayat-ul-Kursi. This has led to accusations of disrespecting the sacred Islamic inscription. The pendant, a family heirloom from the former royal family of Bhopal, was once worn by the Begum of Bhopal and Saif Ali Khan. Its royal connection and 200-year-old diamond-encrusted kalgi add to its value, which could fetch over ₹20 crore to over ₹50 crore if auctioned.
