Bollywood astrologer who tweaked Ajay Devgn’s name charges Rs 23,000 for less than 10 minutes of consultation: ‘When he dropped ‘a’, he entered Rs 500 cr club’
Celebrity astrologers' advice doesn't come cheap. They take credit for a lot -- from Ajay Devgn dropping an 'a' from his name to Akshay Kumar entering the Rs 100 crore club.

Bollywood stars believe in the power of stars a little too much, which is why it isn’t surprising when they change the spellings of their name in the hopes that their fortunes might change. Most of these celebrities follow the advice of astrologers as well and these celebrity astrologers offer some pricey advice. As per a recent report, celebrity astrologer Sanjay B Jumaani charges Rs 12,300 for a basic consultation, with no calls. He offers another package of Rs 23,100 where one gets an audio or video consultation, that answers a few personal queries.
The report shared by The Hollywood Reporter India states that astrologers like Jumaani keep everything confidential, so much so that even his wife doesn’t know about his client’s details. He shared that he was the man who recommended Ajay Devgn to drop an ‘a’ from his surname. “Ajay Devgn was already a star – but when he dropped an ‘a’ from his surname, he entered the Rs 500 cr club,” Jumaani said and added that he also predicted that Akshay Kumar would get out of his flop era in his 44th year, and deliver his first Rs 100 cr hit in his 45th year.
Jumaani’s basic consultation package for Rs 12,300 includes a report with lucky numbers, spelling changes, signature advice, key dates, and career and health insights, with no phone calls. The other package, costing Rs 23,100, includes a video or audio consultation of less than 10 minutes, with a few personal queries.
Sundeep Kochar, another celebrity astrologer, claimed to have predicted Deepika Padukone’s rise to the top as he said, “I told her that in time, she will be as good as Aishwarya Rai.” He also claimed that he predicted Madhuri Dixit’s return to India, and eventually Bollywood, after she moved to the US.
Kochar also spoke about the role of gems in this chat and spoke specifically of Amitabh Bachchan, who continues to work in the movies with just as much enthusiam at 82. “Gems hve meaning. You can call it colour therapy or energies and associate planets with a person,” he said and said that sapphires work for Big B. “But that doesn’t mean anyone wearing it can become like him. It rules his health. He’s in his 80s and still has the energy to work,” he said.
