India created history as we became the first country to land on the South pole of the moon's surface. The Chandrayaan-3 made a soft landing on the lunar spaced and filled every India's heart with pride. PM Narendra Modi called it not just a milestone for India but for global space research too. While we are over the moon living our dream of getting a step closer to 'chanda mama durr ke', it is Shah Rukh Khan, who would be the happiest as he is also a step closer to setting foot on his lunar property.
Yes, everyone's favourite superstar, Shah Rukh Khan owns a huge piece of land on the moon called the 'Sea of Tranquility' as per the Lunar Registry. To everyone's surprise, the land has been gifted to him. Every year, an Australian lady buys a little land for him on the moon on his birthday.

"Though I have written to Shah Rukh many times, I know that he doesn’t answer fan mail, but when he mentioned me in his interview, it’s more than compensated!
