Top 18 Bollywood Celebrities and Their Shocking Superstition Beliefs!

From Bachchan to Kapoor, you won’t believe these stars also do have their own unsual superstitions. They strongly belief them. Let’s check what they are?

Top 18 Bollywood Celebrities and Their Shocking Superstition Beliefs! Superstition is a very diverse and subjective concept. Some shy away from it while others believe it to be their ultimate truth. Indians are pathological believers in superstitions. A cat crossing the road, avoiding facing north while sleeping and using lemon and chillies to avoid bad omen are just to name a few. However, our Bollywood actors take it up a notch.

Top 18 Bollywood Celebrities and Their Shocking Superstition Beliefs! Here’s a list of a few celebrities who are notoriously superstitious!

Amitabh Bachchan

Big-B is a huge cricket fan, but he strongly believes that him watching the game live will make India lose the match. Hence, he never watches any match live and especially important or big matches. This one does make a lot of heads turn in the industry.

Akshay Kumar

Here’s another super crazy one. Akshay believes that the success of his films depends on him being outside India. He says that if he is not present in India at the time of the movie’s release, it will be a hit. Therefore, he always leaves India during that time. He has reportedly done so for movies like 2.0 (2018), Gold (2018), Kesari (2019).

Ranveer Singh

Ranveer is often seen with a black thread tied around his right ankle. He believes that this thread will protect him from diseases and will keep him healthy. This practice dates back to his childhood when he was prone to falling sick every now and then. I hope this thread always keeps our Gully Boy on his feet!

Shah Rukh Khan

When it comes to superstitions, the king of Bollywood holds a different kind of belief. He is not known to be a very spiritual or superstitious person but this fact will blow your mind. Shah Rukh Khan considers 555 to be his lucky number. Every car that he owns has this number engraved on the number plate. King Khan uses his power and money to make sure that this is done for each and every vehicle he owns. Even the cigarettes he smokes is from a company named 555.

Aamir Khan

Top 18 Bollywood Celebrities: Aamir always releases his films in a set period of time during the year. Most often it is December, and this tradition has been carried out for multiple films that he has starred in. Taare Zameen Par (2007), Ghajni (2008), 3 Idiots (2009), Dhoom 3(2013) and PK (2014) were all released close to or on Christmas. This one is still acceptable as December is a month of festivals and people are inclined to go watch a movie during this time. Mr Perfect shows that some superstitions can have strong logic and reasoning behind them.

Ajay Devgn

Bollywood Celebs are often known to take up stage names. Throughout the history of Bollywood, multiple actors have done this to create a catchy or star-like sounding name. But our Bajirao Singham intentionally spells his name wrong as “Ajay Devgn” rather than “Ajay Devgan”. He believes this to be lucky for him and his career.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina’s on-screen portrayals and lavish lifestyle might not show it, but she is quite a religious person. Reports say that she visits the Dargah of Moinuddin Chisti in Ajmer before the release of her films.  She believes that this ritual is the key factor to the success of all her films.

Salman Khan

Most people can already guess that Sallu’s biggest superstition is around is Sapphire Bracelet. He believes that this bracelet is the reason for all his good luck and success. He is never seen without this signature ornament. His fans are often seen fashioning one of their own in attempts or mimicking his style.

Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir considers the number ‘8’ to be really lucky for him. He takes a page out of Shahrukh’s book and has made sure all his cars’ plates have the number ‘8’ in them. He often wears T-shirts or jerseys that have this number printed on them.

Hrithik Roshan

Some belief in numbers; some believe in names or some belief in spirituality but Duggu is on a completely different page from these celebrities. From his childhood, Hrithik has considered his extra thumb to be lucky for him. Even though it can be scientifically defined as a mutation in his DNA that has caused this effect, Hrithik could care less about the science behind it as he considers his thumb to be responsible for a lot of his success as an actor.

Abhishek Bachchan

Like father like son, Abhishek’s superstition also revolves around Cricket. He believes that moving around or walking during a live cricket match can cause bad results during the game. That is the reason he never lets anyone walk around or move while watching an intense or important match.

Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan

Top 18 Bollywood Celebrities: Saifeena considers the number ‘21’ to be lucky for them. And just like their predecessors on this list, they have this number engraved on each and every car that they own. Is numerology so significant that it can affect two people as a couple? What do you think? Do let us know in the comments.

Vidya Balan

This one is a bit more on the lighter side of things. Vidya considers her luck as a fact of manifestation in a special brand of Kajal that she uses. She admitted that she never leaves her home without applying it around her eyes.

Bipasha Basu

Bipasha has a very common stereotype that most Indians carry with them almost genetically. She hangs lemon and chillies in her car every Saturday. She believes that this will keep her car and herself safe from bad energy.

Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty is a huge Cricket enthusiast which is evident from the fact that she owns her own IPL team. However, it is less known that she wears two watches whenever she watches them play live on the ground. She believes that this ensures her team perform good and ultimately win the match.

Sanjay Dutt

Similar to Ranbir and Shahrukh, Sanjay Dutt also believes that he has a lucky number. However, his number is a bit longer than the other ones. ‘4545’ seems to be his lucky number and this number is there on all his car plates. Reports say that he has to pay a lot of extra money to have the same number on all his cars. But he believes it all to be worth it as this number will provide him all the luck, he needs to have a better future.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika is a regular at the Siddhi Vinayak Temple in Prabhadevi. She believes that she has to visit this temple before the release of her film to ensure it’s a success. Deepika has followed this ritual for films like Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani (2013), Chennati Express (2013) and Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela (2014). She always dresses up in traditional clothes as best as she can before she visits this fabled temple.

Ekta Kapoor

Top 18 Bollywood Celebrities: We have saved the best for the last. Where to start for this one? Let’s begin with her soap operas. She believes that the letter ‘K’ is lucky for her, hence she has named most of her tv serials starting with the letter ‘K’.  Kasauti Zindagi Ki, Kyuki Saas Bhi Khabhi Bahu Thi, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, Kum-Kum and Kasamh Se are just to name a few. She wears multiple rings that signify that she believes in pseudo-astronomy, she wears a Rudraksha around her arm which shows that she is a huge believer in spirituality and its manifestation in the human body.

The dates she selects for the release of her serials are all decided after she consults with a numerologist. To leave this topic on a lighter note, Ekta in an interview quoted a popular meme about herself “Don’t mean to scare you guys, but Ekta has more rings than Thanos”. Although she faces trolls for her beliefs, she still is on top of her game and making non-stop content on Alt-Balaji. Yet, she is lenient to continue on with her superstitions.

Be it good, bad or absurd. Every person on this list is super famous and successful. Therefore, it is quite likely that some of the beliefs that these superstars hold might actually be true in some sense. However, that is a topic for a different day.
