Kareena Kapoor Khan Faces Social Media Backlash Over Emerald Necklace at Diwali Event
Jewelry and fashion details from Kareena Kapoor Khan's Diwali appearance.

Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan has found herself at the center of a social media controversy following her regal appearance at a Diwali celebration. While her designer outfit and historic accessories initially won praise, a section of netizens raised strong objections over a green emerald necklace she wore, claiming that the roughly 30-carat emerald is inscribed with Islam's holy verse 'Ayatul Kursi'. Critics argued that using a religiously significant verse as jewelry is inappropriate, though the actress has not issued any public response.

For the festive gathering, Kareena wore a nude-beige kaftan designed by Punit Balana, complemented by a turban adorned with a 200-year-old Pataudi family heirloom kalgi (turban ornament). While the majestic look mesmerized fans and industry peers alike, the emerald pendant quickly eclipsed the rest of her attire in online discussions. Meanwhile, on the professional front, rumors suggest Kareena may make a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming action movie 'King', directed by Siddharth Anand and co-starring Deepika Padukone and Rani Mukerji, though official announcements regarding her upcoming leading roles are still awaited.
