As history unfolds with the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3’s Lander Vikram on the lunar south pole today, August 23, the cosmos showcases its mysteries and possibilities. Amid this remarkable achievement, an intriguing revelation about moon ownership adds a fascinating layer to the cosmic story. Did you know that Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and the late Sushant Singh Rajput both own a piece of land on the moon?
Shah Rukh Khan possesses a piece of land on the moon, specifically in an area known as the Sea of Tranquility, gifted to him by an Australian fan. Each year, on his birthday, the fan purchases this celestial property for him. Shah Rukh Khan expressed his gratitude in a past interview, stating, “An Australian lady buys a little land on the moon for me every year… I feel blessed to have the love of so many people worldwide.”
Interestingly, the actor even has a moon crater named after him, aptly titled ‘Shah Rukh.’
Late Sushant Singh Rajput’s adoration for astronomy and science is well-known. He took his passion a step further by acquiring a piece of land on the far side of the moon, a region called the Mare Muscoviense or the ‘Sea of Muscovy.’ The actor’s Rs 55 lakh investment not only symbolized his love for space but also reflected his devotion to gazing at the moon through his personal telescope.
For those aspiring to become cosmic landowners themselves, The Lunar Registry’s official website offers the opportunity to purchase moon land. As Chandrayaan-3’s successful landing on the lunar south pole reminds us of our cosmic aspirations, it’s clear that the universe continues to captivate the hearts and imaginations of both stars and enthusiasts alike.
