Mufti Abdul Qavi Claims He Was Married to Kareena Kapoor

In a shocking statement that has taken social media by storm, Pakistani cleric Mufti Abdul Qavi has claimed he was once married to Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor Khan.

During a recent podcast interview, the controversial religious scholar made a series of surprising claims about his connections to the Indian film industry. He stated that in his youth, he was known by the name ‘Seth Shahid’ and had frequent business and religious visits to India and Dubai.

Qavi alleged that his initial connection with Kareena Kapoor began around 1996, when the actress was in her early twenties. He claimed their relationship deepened, leading to a nikah (Islamic marriage contract). He justified this by stating that Muslim men can marry Hindu women, adding that Kareena Kapoor had thus been “Pakistan’s bhabhi” (sister-in-law).

He further asserted that when Kareena later married Indian actor Saif Ali Khan, some Indian clerics called it invalid, but he himself supported the union because of his prior marriage to her. Qavi did not provide any evidence, details of a divorce, or specify when this alleged marriage ended.

The cleric, known for past controversies, also remarked that if actress Aishwarya Rai sent him a marriage proposal, he would be ready. The claims have been met with widespread skepticism and ridicule online, with the public and legal experts refuting the possibility due to lack of proof and the complexities of international and Islamic law.
