Salman Khan’s blue sapphire ring: What is hidden in this mystery?

Three deep reasons behind Bollywood star Salman Khan’s blue sapphire ring, an astrologer reveals the secret.

More than just a fashion statement

Salman Khan grabbed all the attention at the launch of the Indian Supercross Racing League on Wednesday, but not his outfit.

The Bollywood superstar’s blue sapphire ring has sparked curiosity among fans and astrology buffs.

While Bhai’s turquoise bracelet has long been his signature accessory (countless fans wear similar bracelets), the addition of this gemstone has people wondering: What’s the story behind it?

Saturn’s powerful influence

According to Gurugram-based astrologer Sidhharrth S Kumaar, timing is everything in the selection of this gemstone.

“Saturn turns retrograde on July 13, 2025,” he explains.

This planetary shift, which will last until November, could explain Khan’s jewelry selection.

The blue sapphire is primarily governed by Saturn – considered the planet of gain.

When retrograde, Saturn comes closer to Earth, which can have an exponential effect on the wearer’s life.

Three reasons behind Salman’s gemstone selection

1. Business growth

With various business interests already in his portfolio, Khan can wear the stone to promote financial growth and expansion opportunities.

2. Protection in tough times

Let’s be honest – Salman hasn’t had an easy year. Following the murder of his friend Baba Siddiqui in 2024, the star has received frequent death threats from the Bishnoi gang and even witnessed a shootout near his Mumbai apartment.

“Blue sapphire protects one from any evil eye or accidents when Saturn is retrograde,” explains Kumaar.

With Khan turning 60 this December, the gemstone can serve as a protective measure during his 59th year.

3. Career revival

The third possibility? A professional boost. “This is what I call a midlife crisis,” explains Kumaar.

“Blue sapphire helps the individual regain their former height. It’s about bringing new focus to the career path.”

Shape and placement is important

Even the rectangular shape of Khan’s sapphire holds significance.

“Rectangular ones are particularly used more for protection, career luck and restoring public perception,” says Kumaar, pointing out that Amitabh Bachchan also wears a similar shape.

Khan wears the stone on the middle finger of his right hand – a thoughtful choice according to astrology.

The middle finger is governed by Saturn, while the right hand represents logic and action.

Perfect pairing with his famous bracelet

Fans wondering about this combination with his iconic turquoise bracelet will be interested to know that the stones complement each other perfectly.

“While turquoise protects against black magic, evil eye and provides emotional cleansing, blue sapphire averts physical danger,” explains Kumaar.

This isn’t the first time Khan has worn this powerful gemstone – he was previously spotted wearing it at the 2023 IIFA press conference.

As he prepares to shoot the Battle of Galwan in the challenging conditions of Leh-Ladakh, perhaps he’s just making sure all the cosmic forces are in his favour.
