Shah Rukh Khan pens sentimental tribute as Chandrayaan-3 makes historic moon landing
space endeavors, Chandrayaan-3 has successfully executed a soft landing near the moon's South Pole, marking a momentous event in the country's space history. Amid the flood of emotions that have swept over the internet, Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan found the perfect lines from one of his songs to encapsulate this historic moment.
Drawing inspiration from "Chaand Taare," a song featured in his 1997 film 'Yes Boss,' Shah Rukh Khan expressed his sentiments.
In the film, Khan serenades his co-star Juhi Chawla with the romantic lyrics, which seem tailor-made for India's moon touchdown: “Chaand Taare todh laoon….Saari Duniya par main chhaoon (I will pluck the moon and stars and spread them across the world).”
SRK's post also included heartfelt congratulations to the scientists, engineers, and the entire team at ISRO for their outstanding achievement: “Aaj India aur ISRO chhaa gaya. Congratulations to all the scientists and engineers…the whole team which has made India so proud.
Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon.”
This momentous event propels India into the elite league of spacefaring nations. Notably, India becomes the first country to achieve a successful landing near the moon's South Pole, a region where traces of water have been detected, holding significant scientific importance.
Chandrayaan-3's Lander Vikram accomplished this historic touchdown at 6.04 pm.
Over the next 14 days, the Pragyan Rover, part of the mission, will be actively sending back images and data from the moon's surface, furthering our understanding of the lunar environment. India now joins the select group of nations, including the USSR/Russia, USA, and China, to have successfully landed a rover on the moon.
Shah Rukh Khan, India's
