Salman Khan's mysterious blue sapphire sparks buzz: What's the astrological power behind the star's new ring?
At a star-studded launch of the Indian Supercross Racing League's second season this week, all eyes were—as always—on Bollywood icon Salman Khan. Dressed in his quintessential suave style, the superstar made headlines yet again. But this time, it wasn't his outfit or his signature turquoise bracelet that caught attention. It was a glimmering blue sapphire ring on his right hand that sparked intrigue across fan circles and astrology enthusiasts alike.
While the actor is no stranger to iconic accessories—his turquoise bracelet has been a symbol of fandom for decades—the addition of this new, deep blue gemstone has stirred conversation about its astrological significance. Could Salman Khan be seeking the planetary power of Shani (Saturn), one of Vedic astrology's most intense celestial forces?
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. 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.

Meet actress who allegedly dated star cricketer, later married into a royal family, sparked controversy due to..., she is...
While most heroines were told their careers ended with motherhood, Moon Moon Sen did the exact opposite. She married into royalty, had two daughters, and then made her big-screen debut at 30. With her first film Andar Baahar in 1984, she raised eyebrows. But it wasn't just her looks that made headlines; it was her confidence and bold choices, both onscreen and off. She later shared screen space with Madhuri Dixit in 100 Days and acted in a string of notable films like Kuch Toh Hai, Zakhmi Dil, Mohabbat Ki Kasam, and Sheesha opposite Mithun Chakraborty. Across Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films, she appeared in over 60 films and 40+ TV shows. Where did she come from? Born into privilege, Moon Moon was the daughter of Bengali legend Suchitra Sen and granddaughter of a wealthy businessman, Adinath Sen. She was an English literature teacher in Kolkata and studied at Oxford before Bollywood found her. She married Bharat Dev Varma, from a royal lineage, in 1978. The couple has two daughters, Riya and Raima, both of whom tried their hand at acting. What about the Imran Khan connection? The buzz around Moon Moon wasn't limited to her films. Over the years, she was linked to several high-profile names, from Saif Ali Khan and Romu Sippy to Victor Banerjee. But the most talked-about was her alleged affair with former Pakistani cricketer and PM, Imran Khan. The media claimed the two dated and even shot for a magazine together, while Moon Moon was married. In a 2019 interview with PTI, she addressed it, 'I like spending time with Imran. If my husband doesn't have a problem, why should others?' She added that they were just friends. But the buzz never quite died down. Did she stop at films? Nope. Moon Moon later joined politics, becoming a member of Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and winning a Lok Sabha seat. Politics, like cinema, welcomed her late, but she made it count. Moon Moon Sen's story is one of charm, controversy, and breaking conventions. From teaching English to starring in 6 languages and facing political elections, her script was anything but ordinary.
