The Bollywood film industry is abuzz with predictions for Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's careers in 2026, spurred by recent astrological forecasts. According to astrologer Sushil Kumaar Singh, 2026 will bring contrasting fortunes for the two superstars.

Singh predicts that Shah Rukh Khan will continue to rise professionally, attributing his success to his spiritual alignment and discipline. He stated that divine power is with Shah Rukh, which doesn't discriminate based on religion and that Khan has adapted himself accordingly, which will lead him forward.

However, the astrologer paints a different picture for Salman Khan, predicting potential health issues and a decline in his film career. Singh claims that Salman's time is not favorable, and he may not be able to create any magic in films. These predictions have sparked debate among fans, with many questioning the influence of astrology on discussions about celebrities.

This isn't the first time concerns have been raised about Salman Khan's future. In April 2025, astrologer Geetanjali Saxena warned of a challenging period ahead for the actor, cautioning about potential health or safety concerns in 2026. Saxena advised Khan to work until March and then take a break to avoid potential accidents or surgeries.

Adding to the intrigue, Sushil Kumaar Singh also predicted the demise of both Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan at the age of 67, claiming they would both be diagnosed with a significant, unnamed illness. He stated that it is not a curable disease and that Salman's final period would be terrible. These claims have been met with criticism from netizens, who argue that predicting someone's death is inappropriate.

Despite the alarming predictions, neither Salman Khan nor Shah Rukh Khan has responded to these astrological forecasts.

Other astrologers have also weighed in on the matter. In a YouTube video, Anuradha Singh discussed the planetary shifts and transformations expected in 2026 and their potential impact on global leaders and Bollywood icons, including Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Donald Trump, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan.

These predictions come at a time when both actors are nearing their 60s but continue to be major forces in the film industry. While some embrace these forecasts as potential insights, others dismiss them as mere speculation. The differing predictions highlight the varying interpretations within astrology, with some focusing on career trajectories and others making more dramatic claims about health and mortality. The debate reflects a broader discussion about the role of astrology in modern society and its influence on public perception of celebrities.
