More Than Just a Stone
According to a detailed article by Navratan.com, the blue sapphire—commonly known as Neelam—is deeply associated with Saturn. Known in Sanskrit as 'Aparajita Neelam' or 'Neelmani,' the stone is believed to embody the essence of this karmic planet. The lore behind it is as captivating as its color: blue sapphires are thought to either bring swift prosperity or cause sudden downfall, all depending on the wearer's karma and alignment with Saturn's influence.
In Vedic astrology, Saturn is no ordinary planet. It is the slowest moving graha and one that governs discipline, justice, and delay. Its famed sade-sati—a seven-and-a-half-year phase—can be emotionally and materially turbulent for many. The blue sapphire, astrologers say, is often worn during such phases to pacify Saturn's harsher gaze and realign life's trajectory.
Salman and the Stars
While Salman Khan has not publicly spoken about the reasons behind his latest gemstone accessory. The actor is preparing to shoot for his upcoming war drama
Battle of Galwan
, set against the harsh and freezing terrain of Leh-Ladakh.

Interestingly, Saturn's gaze—known as Shani Drishti—is believed to affect specific houses in a birth chart, particularly the 3rd, 7th, and 10th, which govern communication, partnerships, and career. For an actor of Salman's stature, who navigates high-stakes deals, personal trials, and constant media scrutiny, calming Saturn could be both a strategic and spiritual move.
Salman Khan's cinematic calendar is packed with high-octane ventures and anticipated sequels. Among them is Battle of Galwan, a physically demanding film set in Ladakh, reportedly releasing around Bakri Eid or Independence Day 2026. Following the March 2025 release of Sikandar, he is also working on Kick 2, a film with Atlee, Ganga Ram with Sanjay Dutt, and the much-hyped
Tiger vs Pathaan
set for 2027. Rumours of sequels and new collaborations continue to build momentum, keeping fans eager for what's next.
