Apart from the above stars, other celebrities like Anil Kapoor, Madhur Bhandarkar, Ekta Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor, Nimrat Kaur, R Madhavan also took to social media to take pride in the country's achievement and to congratulate everyone at the ISRO.
Chandrayaan-2 will explore a region of Moon where no mission has ever set foot. The spacecraft consists of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover together referred to as "composite body". The probe's total mass is 3.8 ton and is expected to land on the Moon's south polar region on September 6 or 7 this year.
It will be the first Indian expedition to attempt a soft landing on the lunar surface. This mission will make India the fourth country after the US, Russia, and China to carry out a soft landing on Moon.
