Salman Khan viral video: Salman Khan has been dealing with escalating death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang over the past year, with the situation worsening in recent months. The recent assassination of NCP leader Baba Siddique, Salman’s close friend, has further heightened the threat level, raising serious concerns for the actor's safety. Amid these security concerns, an old video of the superstar has resurfaced in which the actor is explaining about his famous `blue bracelet and why he wears it. Salman Khan’s iconic bracelet, featuring a stone called ‘firoza’ or turquoise, is believed to bring good fortune and shield against negative energy.
Why Salman Khan wears blue bracelet
The video, going viral, begins with a fan at an event asking Salman Khan about the meaning behind his iconic bracelet. In response, Salman shares the story of how it was a gift from his father and explaining the personal significance it holds for him, along with the reasons why he continues to wear it.
He said, “My father always wore this and when I was growing up, it used to look cool on his hand. I used to… like how kids play with things I used to play with his bracelet. Then when I started working, he got me the exact one."
He also added, "This stone is called Firoza. Apparently, there are only two living stones, they say. One is a Greek, and one is a Feroza. This is the turquoise. What happens with this is if there’s any negativity coming on to you, first this takes it. It gets veins in it and then it cracks. This is my seventh stone.”

Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi
Bishnoi’s animosity towards Salman dates back to the infamous 1998 blackbuck poaching case, which deeply angered the Bishnoi community. Despite being behind bars, Lawrence Bishnoi’s threats to Salman’s life continue.
Salman, meanwhile, continues with his professional commitments, working on 'Bigg Boss 18' and his upcoming film, 'Sikandar'.
