Sharukh and Salman’s friendship have always remained a public focus, especially of their die hard fans. There was a time when things were awful between the two but the duo have rekindled their friendship in the recent years with both of them giving special appearances in each other’s blockbuster films.
Now, an astrologer has stirred the pot by claiming on the Siddharth Kannan podcast that Salman and Shah Rukh’s friendship is merely for public display and far from genuine.
The astrologer opinions that Shah Rukh and Salman’s astrological charts are poles apart, and hence, their bond is just optics—a calculated PR-friendly move rather than true brotherhood.
Yes, we are talking about the same astrologer Sushil Kumaar Singh who in the earlier March podcast with Siddharth went on to claim that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will divorce in 2026! Interestingly, that podcast came at a time when there were many rumors swirling regarding the attack on Saif Ali Khan at home.
On his Youtube channel, he is claiming that he had already predicted RCB’s maiden IPL title win this year.
He even claims that many big celebrities often consult him for services so that the virality and popularity of emerging superstars can be brought down through magical powers. He emphasises that he strictly denies such requests.
These statements have once again ignited the ongoing debate: Prediction, Claim, or Clever PR?
Netizens today are aware that some people can often create or even amplify sensationalism in order to gain attention on the internet.
Many netizens, especially the younger and more digitally aware crowd, have become increasingly skeptical of bold predictions that surface online—particularly when those predictions involve celebrities or viral moments.
The Algorithm of most of the social platforms is designed in such a way that it has become increasingly hard for newcomers unless they offer shock value or ride on controversy.
We cannot verify whether the astrologer is making a prediction or a claim. However, if history has shown us anything, it’s that predictions—no matter how confidently made—often miss their mark, even when coming from prominent names.
Strong Backlash
When the astrologer made controversial death-related predictions about Saif Ali Khan, the majority of commenters criticized him for making such outrageous and insensitive statements. Many netizens also called out Siddharth Kannan, slamming him for giving a platform to such speculative and potentially distressing content on his channel.
A similar backlash was observed on Reddit at the time, with users expressing strong disapproval of such sensational claims. Given the nature of this new podcast, a similar wave of criticism is anticipated, as viewers are likely to respond with the same skepticism and concern.
