As Chandrayaan 3, comprising the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan), made a touchdown near the south polar region of the Moon on Wednesday (August 23), several Bollywood celebrities took to their official social media accounts to congratulate Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for making history.
India has become the fourth country in the world to achieve this feat after the United States, Russia, and China. However, India is the only country in the world to land on the lunar south pole.

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. #Chandrayaan3"
