He says the book’s title uses the holy word ‘Bible’, which hurts the religious sentiments of Christians. Shinde filed a complaint under IPC section 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion) against the actress and the two others. It was confirmed by a police official that the complaint had been received, but that no FIR had been filed.
In a statement, Shivaji Nagar Police Station’s in-charge Inspector Sainath Thombre stated, ‘The complaint was received, but no case can be registered because the incident did not occur here (in Beed). I advised him to file a complaint in Mumbai.’ On July 9, Kareena launched her book.
She called it her third child, and she posted a series of social media posts promoting the book. 40-year-old Kareena, gave birth to her second child, a boy, in February. The actress says the book is a personal account of what she experienced physically and emotionally during both her pregnancies.
