What you wear says a lot about you. But the rings on their fingers reveal more than our celebrities would care to give away. Astrologers suggest what could be plaguing our A-listers
When the famous lot wave at their fans or thump the podium to make a point, a flash of light catches your eye, one far stronger than a camera's. These are their precious gemstones glittering on their fingers, reminding a poor you of their star-studded status. But be warned, it's not just a fashion statement. It's more to protect this very star status suggested by none other than their astrologers. But have these rocks saved them from the inevitable pitfalls of stardom? 
Amitabh Bachchan
Rings: Blue Sapphire, Emerald and Opal or Moon Stone
Amitabh wore the blue sapphire when things began going downhill for his career owing to which he made a comeback with Kaun Banega Crorepati. The opal and emeralds are for his health to improve. The astrologers point out that the trend of wearing astrological rings, especially two rings on one finger, really took off after Amitabh began slipping these precious gemstones one after the other on his fingers. Astrologer Bharat Mehra also points out that he really does not need to wear any of these rings as from September 9, the best seven years of his life will begin. 
Vilasrao Deshmukh
Rings: Emeralds
Vilasrao Deshmukh was already treading on choppy seas after 26/11 and he made it worse by inviting his mulga and his Bollywood buddy, RGV, to take inspiration from the sad spectacle. The backlash that ensued resulted in the fall of his government. But the man had the power of two rings. Two emeralds on his ring finger and shaazaam! After he loses his post as Maharashtra chief minister he gets transported to Delhi the hub of political power and is made Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises. 
Jaya Bachchan
Rings: Pearl and Coral
Jaya Bachchan seems to play the part of devoted wife to the hilt. That's why she adorns her finger with a pearl for the betterment of her husband's health. She also wears it to keep her temperament in check. Maybe it's to help her become slightly friendlier with those belonging to the fourth estate.
Sharmila Thackeray
Ring: Pearl
It looks like it was quite an explosive analysis, so astrologer Ashok Agarwal refused to comment beyond the fact that the pearl was to keep her temperament in check and for stability of mind. Should the rest of us slip on a pearl too for the stability of the city that is so often disrupted courtesy her husband? 
Bappi Lahiri
Rings: Your guess is as good as ours
An article once asked a life changing question: How does Bappi Lahiri pass through a metal detector? The answer lies in the problem itself. The gold he wears is for the planet Jupiter and it takes care of him. The stones are actually of no use since all the gold appeals to Jupiter, which helps one expand u2014 health, wealth and belt. Now that we have found the answer to that question, life can return to normal in disco land. 
Ekta Kapoor
Rings: Pearl, Coral and Yellow Sapphire
Ekta wore these rings because she was undergoing mangal maha dasha. She wore them for luck. She now has rahu ka maha dahsa which is the 'biggest enemy' of what she is wearing. Agarwal believes that, "Her personal life is rubbish. To hide her own weakness, she is very abusive." Mehra says that Gomed will bring her sudden gains maybe marriage or even children. Similar to how her characters suddenly fall preggers with just a shoulder rub or how she suddenly decides to do away with the letter K.u00a0u00a0u00a0 
Salman Khan
Rings: Yellow and Blue Sapphire
Ah! The eternal bad bachelor boy. The blue sapphire is supposed to be good for him but obviously neither ring has worked. The only similarity between the rings and him is that they shine like his forever increasing forehead. His troubled present continues to draw parallels to his messed up past only the women seem to get younger. We suggest he opts for a diamond ring. Not for himself but for lady love Katrina's ring finger. Problem solved. 
Vijay Mallya
Ring: Emerald
Like most of his ventures, Vijay Mallya got the choice of ring right too. The emerald has helped him expand his business. The only problem is its placement. Agarwal suggests he wear the ring on his ring finger to succeed that extra bit when it comes to business. He claims that Kingfisher Airlines might do well. While the rest hope that the ring in some way helps him pick out prettier airhostesses. 
Bal Thackeray
Ring: Emerald
This aging patriarch's sharp tongue and wit have seen him through and into many controversies. It's the green gemstone perched innocently on his pinkie that makes him spew all that he does. The stone has greatly helped his oratory powers and his speech. His true source of power, though, comes from the rudraksha mala constantly strung around his neck. However, the ring has not helped the fact that his peace has been shattered by the feud between Uddhav and Raj Thackeray. Join the club, Mr T.
Disclaimer: Our consulting astrologers Ashok Agarwal and Bharat Mehra stress that astrology is a science and that rings are not solely responsible for the fortunes or misfortunes of these or any other individuals
Ways to avoid the evil eye
>>Move away from the line of vision of someone staring intently at you. Chances are they are literally giving you the evil eye or checking you out.
>>Do not complain about the evil eye. It is all pervasive and will hunt you to your grave no matter what. Kinda like a nagging relative.
>>If someone praises you, make sure they spit after that. Walk on any busy street and you can't help but feel like everyone is all praises for you.
>>Give the rock on sign (thumb holding down the ring and middle fingers with the pinkie and index fingers form a horn-like shape) to anyone you see giving you the evil eye. If they misinterpret this, uncurl the middle finger. >>Apply a spot of kajal on your cheek and become the butt of many jokes.
