Birth details come from a recorded or documented source (source: The Times Select Horoscopes), so this chart is reliable to the day, though the birth time is not recorded.
Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa). Exact birth time is not publicly recorded, so noon local time was used. The Moon changes Nakshatra about once a day, so the Nakshatra and Ascendant shown may differ if the true birth time is different.
Our library holds 148 Bollywood personalities with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 16 of them (11%) have the Moon in Aquarius, like Guru Dutt, and 8 (5%) share the Shatabhisha Nakshatra — the #5 most common Moon Nakshatra among Bollywood personalities, where Swati leads with 10 (7%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
