Madhya Pradesh High Court on May 11, 2024, issued notice to actress Kareena Kapoor Khan in reference to a petition filed against her new pregnancy memoir "Kareena Kapoor Khan's Pregnancy Bible." According to reports, the notice was issued following a complaint by advocate Christopher Anthony's petition against Ms Khan as well as the book's sellers. A single-judge bench of Justice Gurpal Singh Ahluwalia issued the notice to seek an answer from the actress on why the word "bible" was used in the title. Notices have also been issued to the sellers of the book demanding a ban on the sale.
Advocate Christopher Anthony Filed A Petition Against Khan And Book’s Sellers
After the book’s publication, Mr Anthony, a social worker and advocate from Jabalpur filed a petition against Kareena Kapoor as well as the book’s sellers. In the petition, he alleged that the use of the word ‘bible’ in the book’s title is hurtful to the sentiments of the Christian community. "The Bible is the holy book of Christianity all over the world and it is wrong to compare Kareena Kapoor Khan's pregnancy with the Bible," he said. Mr Anthony says the actor used the word to gain "cheap publicity" for her book.

In 2021, the 43-year-old actor wrote the book journaling her journey of pregnancy, providing tips for expecting mothers. Soon after the publication, the petitioner first approached the police to register an FIR against the actor. However, when they refused to file a case, he moved to lower court to register a complaint against her. After the court rejected his petition saying it failed to establish how the use of the word "bible" in the title was offensive. He then moved to the Additional Sessions Court which dismissed his petition.
