Shah Rukh Khan has finally given in. He has started wearing an emerald ring on the little finger of his hand. In the last 20 years of his career since Deewaana (1992) the actor has stayed away from the stuff that fascinates the rest of the film industry: Astrology, numerology, tarot etc.
He has never added (or subtracted) a letter from his name, or that from his films to balance them for luck. He has never consulted calendars for auspicious dates for his films. And has never worn any stones on his hands. The only jewellery the actor has sported since forever is his gold wedding band.
Until now. There's new bling on his hand now. The ring was first spotted on the actor when he returned from his Berlin schedule for Don 2. It is learnt that the actor is a non-believer and it was his wife Gauri who consulted an astrologer and got the gold ring with an emerald stone made for her hubby.
According King Khan's kundli, Mercury antardasha is about to begin. It will be there for two years and a couple of months. It is also great for media and communications."
Amitabh Bachchan also wears the green emerald to combat his illnesses; mostly, stomach related problems. After wearing the stone, he has not only maintained good health but also improved his financial situation.
