Web desk: Mufti Abdul Qavi has sparked fresh controversy after claiming that he was once in a nikah with Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor.
During a podcast, when Mufti Abdul Qavi referred to Kareena Kapoor as “hamari Kareena Kapoor,” the host asked him how Kareena is his.
To this question, he ‘revealed’ that this is because she was also Pakistan’s daughter-in-law. He claimed that she had been his wife.
In his latest remarks, he also asserted that Hindus possess a holy book called Veer. He argued that this makes marriage between Muslims and Hindus permissible in Islam since it makes the “ehl e kitaab”.
He went on to suggest that his alleged nikah with Kareena took place in 1982. This claim becomes even more shocking when we realise that the actress was born in 1980.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s biggest names, comes from the renowned Kapoor family. She has spent over two decades in the film industry.
She is currently married to actor Saif Ali Khan, and the two are widely regarded as a power couple in Indian cinema.
Mufti Abdul Qavi, meanwhile, is a well-known but highly controversial figure.
He has frequently been involved in scandals, including being filmed drinking on air and making inappropriate statements about female artists.
He has also previously appeared in questionable situations with social media personalities such as Qandeel Baloch and Hareem Shah.
His history of sensational claims has kept him in the public spotlight. His latest comments about Kareena have once again triggered widespread criticism.
Netizens react
Social media users reacted sharply to his new statement. One commented, “Kareena was born in 1980, and you claim a nikkah in 1982. At least make your story consistent.”
Another wrote, “He is such a low life; this is why other clerics distanced themselves from him.”
Others questioned his religious justification, saying, “He is now calling Hindus ‘Ehl-e-Kitab’. How will he prove this?”
Online, many have dismissed his remarks as baseless, calling out what they describe as yet another attention-seeking claim by the controversial cleric.
