Kareena Kapoor Khan Beefs up Security After Threats From Religious Groups

January 23, 2015

Mumbai, Jan 23: Almost two weeks after a morphed picture of Kareena Kapoor was splashed on a religious group's magazine cover as a warning against 'love jihad', the actress is said to have beefed up her personal security.

Sources suggest that she has hired two bodyguards besides tightening the security at her Bandra residence.

Bebo and her actor-husband Saif Ali Khan had received death threats prior to their wedding in October, 2012. Earlier this month, she was again targeted by the Vishva Hindu Parishad's young women's wing, Durga Vahini, in their magazine to support a campaign to "reconvert" Hindu women who married Muslim men. Its cover, which went viral online, shows Kareena's face half covered with a niqab.

A source says, "With the ongoing love jihad debate, Kareena is concerned about her safety. Unlike a few other stars, she never felt the need to be escorted or chaperoned, until now."

Another source close to the actress clarifies that the bodyguards have been hired as a precautionary measure but there was no such serious threat to her life.

Kareena remained unavailable for comment.

Popular Bhojpuri actor Amrita Pandey was found dead in her apartment in Bihar's Bhagalpur last week on April 27, the police said. The cops suspect the actor, 27, died by suicide but the matter is under investigation.

The police said she posted a cryptic WhatsApp status before her death, which read, "Do naav me savaar thi uski zindagi, humne apni naav duba ke uska safar aasaan kar diya" (His/her life was sailing on two boats, we made the journey easy by sinking one). The cops have not recovered any suicide note. She is survived by her husband.

Amrita's family said she worried about her career as she was not getting enough work and was suffering from depression. The family said she was undergoing treatment for depression.

The actor lived in Mumbai with her husband, Chandramani Jhangad, an animation engineer. She went to Bhagalpur to attend her sister's wedding on April 18. Her husband returned home after the wedding but Amrita chose to stay back.

The actor has been alongside Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav in 'Deewanapan'. She also acted in Hindi movies, TV shows and web series. She is also known for her role in the web series 'Parishodh'.

City Superintendent of Police, Shri Raj, said we will conduct a high-level investigation into this case. A team has been formed, the family members are being interrogated and further action is underway in the case.
