The third lunar mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the Chandrayaan-3, is expected to land on the moon at 6:04 PM today, August 23. Ahead of Chandrayaan-3's soft landing on the Moon, people from different parts of the country are extending good wishes for the success of the lunar mission. Many actors, politicians, bureaucrats and well-wishers are cheering for the success of Chandrayaan-3 and sharing their excitement on social media.
On Tuesday, Amitabh Bachchan shared a few lines dedicated to the Chandrayaan-3 mission on Sony’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. The poem read, “Kal shaam ko jab chand niklega na, toh uss chand ki mitti par humare desh ke kadmon ki chaap hogi. Kal humara Chandrayaan 3, apne Maama ke ghar, yaani ke Chanda maama ke ghar pahuchega,” which roughly translates as, “In the evening, tomorrow, when the moon rises, our country’s footprints will be imprinted on the soil of the moon. Tomorrow, the moon of the stories of our childhood will be within reach to our country.”
Besides Big B, rapper Badshah shared his excitement through a tweet, “Aa gayi ghadi hai dekho sabse badi, Hai humse bas do kadam pe dekho jeet khadi! (The biggest moment is here, victory is just two steps away from us.)”
