Believing in superstitions isn’t restricted to us middle-class people because even our favorite celebrities believe in them just like we do.

1. He mentioned that Yash Chopra used to follow numerology secretly. In his iconic movie Kabhi Kabhie, the spelling of the same word is different on the numerologist’s recommendation. His movie Darr had an extra ‘R’ – which became a big hit. The titles for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi were all numerologically decided.
