Celebs & their lucky charms: Bollywood stars and what they swear by

Big B’s fingers are adorned with various rings, each holding a different gemstone. These are based on astrological recommendations and are believed to balance energies and bring him strength and clarity. Over the years, they’ve become as much a part of his look as his baritone voice.

The ever-elegant Deepika Padukone often wears a black thread on her left ankle—a common practice in Indian households to ward off evil and negativity. She’s been spotted with it at various events, quietly carrying her little symbol of protection and good vibes.

Katrina is known to visit the Siddhivinayak Temple, Mount Mary Church, and Ajmer Sharif Dargah before the release of her films. Though she keeps her beliefs private, these visits before a big film drop are believed to be her way of seeking blessings and good luck.

Ranveer Singh is reportedly obsessed with the number 6, which he believes is lucky for him. From car number plates to important dates, the actor often tries to align things with this number. And considering his soaring success, it might just be working.

Arguably the most iconic lucky charm in Bollywood, Salman Khan’s silver-and-blue turquoise bracelet has been with him for decades. Gifted by his father Salim Khan, the bracelet is believed to bring him luck and protection. Salman never steps out without it, whether he's shooting or making public appearances.

Shilpa swears by evil eye bracelets and charms to keep negativity at bay. She often incorporates these into her accessories—be it as a bracelet, pendant, or keychain.
