Chandrayaan 3: Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, Riteish Deshmukkh cheer for ISRO scientists

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to launch India’s third lunar exploration mission, Chandrayaan-3 today and Bollywood celebrities cheered for the ISRO scientists on social media.
Akshay Kumar wrote, “And the time has come to rise! Great luck to all our scientists at @isro for #Chandrayaan3. A billion hearts are praying for you." Interestingly, his 2019 film 'Mission Mangal' was based on ISRO's launch of Mars Orbiter Mission Mangalyaan, which was the least expensive mission to Mars.

Riteish Deshmukh tweeted, "Excited for the launch of #Chandrayaan3 -wishing our nations pride @isro all the best - praying for its success. #JaiHind." While Anupam Kher wrote, “India all set for its 3rd mission on the moon. Wishing our scientists at #ISRO all the very best for the launch of #Chandrayaan3 . झंडा ऊँचा रहे हमारा. जय हिन्द! 🇮🇳 @isro."


Several other celebrities also hailed the space mission.






Chandrayaan-3 is ISRO's follow-up attempt after Chandrayaan-2 mission faced challenges during its soft landing on the lunar surface in 2019 and was eventually reported to have failed its mission objectives.
