Kapoor, her mother Shobha Kapoor, four members of her team involved in the production of serial Pavitra Rishta, and Zee TV owner had been booked by the police for hurting religious sentiments of the Valmiki community.

The case was lodged after Rauni Gill, president of the Bhartiya Valmiki Sarav Dharam Samaj and resident of Shankar, complained to the police that the August 5, 2013, episode of the serial had made derogatory and objectionable references towards Maharishi Valmiki which hurt religious sentiments of the community.
