Kareena Kapoor flaunts 30-carat-emerald pendant. The sacred Ayat-ul-Kursi is also carved on it. What does this Quranic verse mean?

Bebo is synonymous with fashion. Love her or hate her, Kareena Kapoor Khan never fails to make a statement with her sartorial choices. This Diwali, she and her husband, Saif Ali Khan, decided to channel their inner royalty. In a video shared by celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor, the Jab We Met star was seen looking dazzling in Punit Balana's kaftan and turban. However, her outfit was not the only thing that caught the Internet’s eye. Kapoor added a touch of bling with a 30-carat emerald pendant, carved with the Ayat-ul-Kursi, the 255th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah, which is written in the second chapter of the Quran. This pendant has a history.

The pendant originally belonged to the queen of Bhopal and was gifted to the Kabhie Khushie Kabhie Gham actress after she married Saif. Highlighting this bit of history, Rhea wrote, "Heirlooms of the Bhopal royal family, Kareena's own. These pieces come through Saif's family: his grandmother, Sajida Sultan, was the daughter of the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal."

As for the outfit, the actress looked ethereal in a beige kaftan with plenty of chandi work. She finished the regal look with koh-rimmed eyes, smoky eyeshadow, and nude pink lip shades.

What Does Ayat-ul-Kursi Mean?

According to My Islam website, the English translation of this verse is: “Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence.

Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep.

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.

Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission?

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills.

His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not.

And He is the Most High, the Most Great.”

On the work front, Kareena was last seen in the crime thriller Daayra along with Prithviraj Sukumaran.The movie was directed by Meghna Gulzar. Despite having positive reviews, the film underperformed at the box offic.
