In one such clip, Salman was seen taking out a ring with a blue gemstone from his pocket and wearing it on his middle finger, a gesture believed to ward off negative energy, similar to his iconic turquoise bracelet, which is rooted in his family tradition.
Reacting to the video, an X user commented, "Salman Khan doing the most to dodge buri nazar by putting the ring on his middle finger. Not even subtle anymore. The evil eye probably saw that and said “never mind, I’m good” Bollywood’s biggest star fighting nazar with the international sign of disrespect. Iconic failure."

The user humorously mocks Salman by joking that while he is trying to protect himself from buri nazar by wearing a gemstone ring, putting it on his middle finger unintentionally makes it look like he is showing the evil eye, an insulting gesture instead.
