Mumbai:
Shah Rukh Khan has finally given in to wife Gauri's demands and has started wearing an emerald ring on his little finger.
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. 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 husband.
An astrologer who is familiar with King Khan's kundli says, "From 2008 his astral chart is under the influence of Saturn (Shani) which is why he's been recommended the emerald stone. This stone controls the negative influence of Shani on the health and wealth of the person wearing it."
The source adds that in recent years, SRK's health has been cause of concern. "In recent years, his health has taken a beating. There's a recurring shoulder injury, a weak knee and a back problem for which he's had surgery. He has been advised to wear the stone to stop the ill-effects on his health."
Says an insider, "He has been asked to wear the stone because his 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."
