Kareena Kapoor Khan, who sparked a controversy with her Diwali outfit, had now found support from a Hindu outfit. The controversy stems from a 200-year-old emerald pendant belonging to Bhopal's royal family that she wore for Diwali. The outfit landed her in trouble after Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesperson Abbas Hafeez sent her a legal notice over the pendant, which bears the Quranic verse Ayat-ul-Kursi. The legal notice reportedly demanded that the actress and her stylist Rhea Kapoor delete the pictures from social media and issue a public apology. However, Hindu Utsav Samiti president Chandra Shekhar Tiwari has defended the actress, adding she does not need to apologise to anyone.

Speaking about the controversy, Chandra Shekhar Tiwari came out in support of Kareena while questioning the demand for an apology. He stated that the actress was wearing the pendant around her neck, which is close to her heart, and there is no reason to believe that she had displayed the religious inscription disrespectfully.
