Hrithik Roshan halted all his work, much like most of India, and cheered for the country as the countdown for the soft landing of Chandrayaan 3 began Wednesday evening. He shared a video and could be seen happily cheering for the Chandrayaan and ISRO while watching the touchdown on a laptop. Hrithik was working on post-production of his upcoming film Fighter when he took a pause for the historical event.

He wore a hoodie with Chandrayaan 3 written on it and looked into a mirror, with his back to the camera. Vishal captioned the picture as: “Wearing my heart on the hoodie today. Thanks for the incredible ISRO and Chandrayaan 3 wearables. Congratulations to us all.” He also posted another picture as he flaunted yet another ISRO tshirt.

Chandrayaan 3

Chandrayaan 3 waited for sometime to allow the lunar dust to settle down before it rolled out Pragyan rover on the surface of the moon. It landed successfully on the south pole of the moon Wednesday evening. The landing took place after a 40-day journey which began from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota.

India is now the fourth country – after the US, China, and Russia – to have successfully landed on the moon’s surface. India is also the first to touchdown on the south pole of the moon.
