Kiara Advani – an actor with a future

It’s said that Kiara Advani is one of the most promising stars in Bollywood today. Her hand is good, in the sense it shows talent, sensitivity and a strong character. What's even better – her hand shows her to be a genuinely nice girl.

Her hand is a long one, with a big thumb and a good first phalange of the thumb. The lines are fairly clear, slightly curved, and there is a gap between the head and life lines. The Saturn (middle) finger is significantly bent although the others are not. The little (pinky) finger is relatively short if one compares it to the other fingers, and is low-set and held apart. The tips of the fingers are either conic or rounded and the most prominent mounts on her hand are the Jupiter and Lower Mars mounts, although the mount of Moon is developed too.

Her hand tells us that she is not likely to be a complex person, nor does she have a secretive, manipulative nature. Her

Kriti Sanon - shrewd and ambitious

Kriti Sanon is one of the notable actresses in Hindi cinema in 2023, with several hits under her belt. She is pretty and talented. What about her future? Will she last in Bollywood? She is here for nine years already and that does say something about her staying power. Whether she lasts for another decade or even another five years, depends a lot on what she wants from life and who she is.

The hand can tell us a little about who she really is. Considering that she comes from a non-filmi background, her hand will probably have a story to tell because her life took an unexpected turn and it might even tell us about how she made it in this cutthroat film industry. There are hundreds of pretty faces, but Kriti Sanon must have something special about her.

Hands of Attention-Seekers - Uorfi, Rakhi, Donald, Charlie, Rahul and Kim!

Attention-seeking behaviour is known to have psychological causes, due to low self-esteem, jealousy or loneliness, or it can be a psychological condition. All of us know about attention-seeking celebrities and maybe some people in real life as well. Why do these people do what they do? Is it a part of some grand plan or is just what it is… a desperate desire to be the central attraction?

I have selected an odd bunch of people to write about, those who

Kartik Aaryan - is he the right fit for Bollywood?

Kartik Aaryan is a popular Bollywood star. He has made waves in more ways than one, but one should take these things with a pinch of salt as Bollywood has its own rules which a newcomer might find it difficult to navigate. Talent is the only thing that should count, and in the case of actors, looks and style as well. Apparently, Kartik has these three aspects in good measure…but does he have the right personality to make it in Bollywood?

His hand has a broad palm and fingers of a good length, which have a mix of conic and rounded tips. The Jupiter (index) finger is high-set, conic, and a little bent, but it is of normal length. The other fingers are of normal length as well, and not significantly bent. Kartik has a good thumb, it’s long with a conic tip. The lines on his palm are dark, possibly a little thick. 

The palm lines on Kartik Aaryan’s hand are intriguing as it is possible that he has two headlines.

Madhuri Dixit - sweet and determined!

Madhuri Dixit reached the top in Bollywood and then about two decades ago gave it up temporarily to lead a family life. She has always been known as not just one of the most beautiful actors in the Hindi film industry but also one of the most talented. She is in her fifties now, but is still quite active in her profession. Curiosity about her never wanes and this hand reading has been much delayed.

Her hand is not too much of a surprise. Madhuri has long fingers, a slightly longish palm with slim slightly pointy finger tips. The thumb is long with a long first phalange and the lines too are long, uniquely so. The headline is joined considerably with the lifeline and goes across the hand, sloping a little. The heart line too is long, crossing the Jupiter mount and going to the edge of hand. The lifeline is long too, reaching the base of the hand and the fateline commences at the base of the hand and reaches the Saturn mount.

Her hands reveals a personality which is idealistic and impressionable. She is a person who has strong ethics in life, knows who she is, and is likely to stick to her principles even if not all that practical. Yes, this can mean losing out

Sushant Singh Rajput - his suicide and his hand

Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide caught everyone by surprise. Celebrities killing themselves in the early days of stardom is rare (Sushant had just about started to make waves) but people killing themselves in modern times is not so rare. Pressures are high in several professions, particularly in the acting field. You are only as good as your last film!

What was it that led Sushant to take this extreme step? Was it something in his personality or was it because he was intoxicated? Did people around him push him over the edge? Or did he imagine that he was never going to make it in Hindi cinema, never going to fulfil his ambitions? It is common knowledge that he had difficulties in his career. 

His hand shows that he had the ability and talent to reach the top. His sensitivity, creativity and talent are more than evident in his hand. Perhaps it was temperament which was not suited to the cutthroat, parochial world of Bollywood! Sushant's hand

Why Sonam Kapoor did not make it to the top in Bollywood

Out of the 19-20 movies that Sonam Kapoor has been in, only about 4-5 have been hits, according to Box Office India. She is not considered a super successful actor. She didn't make it to the A-list. But her hands show that she has the ability, the talent.

Does this mean that Sonam is an underrated actor? If this is so, what went wrong? Why did she not climb to the pinnacle that she rightly should have? Read on and you will find out why. Her hands give us some of the answers.

Sonam has long fingers, including a long thumb and a particularly long Mercury (little) finger, all with tapering tips and long second and third phalanges and average first phalanges. The second phalange of the thumb is broad and there is a gap between the head and lifelines at the start. The Moon mount is developed. The palm is longish and the heartline is curved, going in-between her first two fingers. The headline is wavy and darker and higher in the beginning. On the left passive hand (Sonam is right-handed) her heartline and headline are both straightish.

Saif Ali Khan: Does he deserve his success?

It’s a little tricky to read a hand when nothing stands out. This does not mean that there is nothing on the hand which is out of the ordinary. It’s just that when one sees photos online, one cannot see the details. As I have had several requests to read Saif Ali Khan’s hands, one just recently, I decided to give it a go.

Saif Ali Khan has normal-sized hands, perhaps a little larger than normal, a broad palm, slightly thick fingers, developed mounts of Venus, Moon and Jupiter, and fingers of a good length including the thumb. The third phalanges are developed, except for the Apollo finger. The headline, though straight at the start, slopes into the moon mount. The heartline looks short but actually,

What Ranveer Singh's hands tell us about him

When I looked at Ranveer Singh’s hands I was sure I would find signs of an extroverted and bold personality because that is the impression he gives. Besides, as he works in the movies, it was likely that he was actually extroverted. To my surprise, his hands showed just the opposite!

Ranveer has shortish fingers, a broad, wide palm, and deep lines of Head, Life and Heart. His headline is tied to the lifeline and is not too high or too low on the hand. It goes across the hand in a fairly straightforward manner but does not go to the percussion. The heartline is curving and rises towards the space between the first two fingers. The mounts of Venus, Moon (more so the middle part) and Jupiter are developed. The first (Jupiter) finger is a little bent and the first phalanges of his fingers are long but

Sanjay Dutt's hand reading

The movie "Sanju" is about the life of Sanjay Dutt, and has been criticised for glossing over Dutt's transgressions. It has been said that the film is dishonest. Is it dishonest?

In other words, is Sanjay Dutt a good guy or a bad guy? 

The facts of Sanjay Dutt's life are all over the media - about his difficult relationships, the drugs, buying weapons from criminals and so on. Looking at these facts makes one wonder whether Sanjay Dutt can really be the confused good-intentioned soul that the movie attempts to portray.

The hands can reveal the real person. They can give us an idea of who Sanjay Dutt really is.

Dutt's hand is not the best. Not refined. He has

Alia Bhatt's hand reading

Alia Bhatt is the new Bollywood heartthrob. Everyone wants to know what she is like in real life. Is she the typical film star, a spoilt rich brat, or is her personality actually that of the innocent girl next door?

Well, her hand does not show arrogance, although it does show a great desire for fame and name. This is an inherited quality which has been

Actor Rekha's hand reading

Rekha’s hands are on the longer side, with long fingers, square palms, long straightish lines and mounts are not excessively developed. The second phalanges are long except that of the thumb (which has a conic tip), finger knots are present (both the first and second), and the index and little fingers (Jupiter and Mercury) appear to be slightly bent. Both these digits have conic tips; the Jupiter (index) finger is slightly short (on her right active hand) and the Mercury(little) finger is low-set. Her head and lifelines are joined for about an inch or so.

Primarily, Rekha's personality as shown by her hands, reveals that she is a thinker (she has what is called the "thinking type" of hand in palmistry), and reason and objectivity are both important aspects of her personality. However, her heart

Kangana Ranaut - who is she really?

Kangana Ranaut* had a personality which is apparently stubborn, with "high self-esteem, super sensitive, and bold" – words she has used to describe herself. She has also called herself difficult, tough, and someone who has always done what she wanted.

Looking at her delicate features and elf-like appearance, one cannot help but wonder whether this is a façade? It is bravado? Is Kangana really the badass that she calls herself, from the inside?

Kishore Kumar's Hand Reading

Kishore Kumar was a singing legend - a great and renowned Indian music star. Besides his talent, he was known to be a very loving, generous, and passionate human being. However, this post will examine another aspect of his personality which is revealed by some interesting lines on his hand. it is quite fascinating from the point of view of Palmistry.

While it is well known that he had a turbulent personal life (4 marriages), and this is very unusual in India. It is less well-known that he was also considered a little eccentric, as this Wikipedia article says. 

Interestingly, he has a double headline on his hand. While a double headline can show more than ordinary intellect/capability, it can also explain

The hand reading of Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone has apparently inherited her father's genes. (I said apparently because I have not seen her father's hands, who was a globally successful badminton player.) Both her hands show physical capacity and sporting ability. When it comes to her temperament, she is passionate and serious. The hand also shows that it belongs to a strong and ambitious person but someone who tends to see things in a subjective way, from her own point of view. 

Deepika has a long hand and a long, large palm and relatively short fingers with rounded tips, and the second and third phalanges are good. The most prominent mounts on Deepika’s

The magic behind Rajesh Khanna's superstardom

People agree Rajesh Khanna was the first superstar of the Hindi film industry but opinions are varied as to why. Maybe it was the whole persona - the mannerisms, the soft romantic voice and the expressive eyes, or maybe it was the romantic roles he performed, and the melodious music he acted out.

What was behind Rajesh Khanna's magical persona? What was he really like, and what was the secret of his success?

His hands and palmistry can give us some insight into the question, and tell us about his inner nature and why Rajesh Khanna moved the hearts of millions of people, especially women, young and old. 

To put it simply,

Shahid Kapoor's hand reading

The major features of Shahid Kapoor’s hand are the wide palm, evenly set fingers (except Mercury), well-developed knots, strong and long heartline, balanced headline and strong Moon, Venus and Upper Mars mounts. This shows his imaginative and creative personality, above-average intelligence and broad thinking. From the shape of his hand and fingers, Shahid comes across as an unselfish, broadminded and passionate guy with a big heart. On a personal level, he would make a good partner because of

Akshay Kumar's hand reading

At times there is nothing spectacular shown on the hand but the hand does show a balanced, sensible person with plenty of energy and a reasonable amount of talent. This is so in Akshay Kumar’s case. His hand may not show an extraordinary intellect or remarkable talent but his broad and wide palm, well-shaped fingers and slightly large hand shows his

Rani Mukerji's hand reading

Rani Mukerjee’s hands are not like that of a typical film star. Her hands show a personality with a love of order, punctuality, security, and also a sensible and practical attitude toward most things. It is because of this down-to-earth attitude that she is able to keep her ego in the backseat. It's not as if she doesn’t have an ego, because she does. It's just that she is too practical to let it interfere with her work.

The main features of her hand are her broad, large palm, short fingers with knots and squarish tips, and developed mounts, particularly Jupiter, although the Moon mount is developed as well. What makes these features significant is that these signs are fairly pronounced. Her lines are dark and the headline is long and slightly sloping. The heartline is also long and curves up into the Jupiter mount. The thumb is long as well, with a long first phalange. The phalanges of her fingers are more or less normal, although the third phalanges are a little thick. The Mercury (little) finger is long.

These hand features tell us that Rani has plenty of common

Bipasha Basu's hand reading

Bipasha Basu, a Bollywood actress, is known for her strong personality, but is she a diva as some say? Strength of personality is a composite of different personality traits, and at times not everything about a strong person is considered pleasant. Let us see what Bipasha's hands tell us when we delve a little deep into her persona through palmistry.

Bipasha has a broad palm, almost squarish, with medium-length, flexible fingers and they are quite conic, particularly the finger of Jupiter (index finger). The Saturn (middle) finger is strong and the first phalanges are slim, though not particularly long. The third phalanges are slightly thick and long and the second phalanges are average. The lines on her palm are dark and the headline is straightish, starting on the Jupiter mount, with a gap between it and the lifeline. The mounts of Jupiter, Moon, Upper Mars and Venus are developed. She has a fairly deep fateline (line of Saturn). The thumb is long and conic tipped.

Her hand shows a broad-minded, sensible and ambitious personality. There is some intensity about her, as she is focused, with a striving attitude to life from a young age. She has willpower as well as self-control and her hand shows common sense and a very stable mind. Her hand also shows immense mental
