After India's Chandrayaan 2 mission, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi taking a dig at Pakistan, shared a video of their 'rocket launch.' In a tweet, Arshad Warsi shared a video wherein a group of men could be seen releasing a hot air balloon, shaped like a rocket into the sky. In his hilarious comparison to India's Chandrayaan-2, he said, "I had no idea that Pakistan had also launched a rocket."

There are always hurdles in the path to victory and the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which suffered a last-minute setback, doesn't "tantamount to failure", said members of the film fraternity, after ISRO lost communication with its moon lander early Saturday morning. 

Prominent actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Kamal Hassan, offered words of encouragement to ISRO scientists and hailed them for the mission

Chandrayaan-2 

Soon after news agency, ANI quoted ISRO saying that exact location of the Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan 2 has been spotted, ISRO chief K Sivan has told PTI that the Vikram's landing must have been a hard landing. On September 7, India's first moon mission Chandrayaan 2 was scheduled to make a soft-landing on moon's south pole with its Vikram lander and Pragyan rover. However, just minutes before the touchdown, communication with the lander was lost even as the Vikram lander was only 2.1 kilometers away from the lunar surface. Following the unfortunate loss of communication with the lander, ISRO chief said that attempts will be made to re-establish the communication with the Lander in the next 14 days.

On Sunday, September 8, Sivan told PTI that though Vikram's landing on the Moon's surface must have been a hard-landing, there is still no clarity if the Vikram's module was damaged during the landing. "We do not know if the Vikram module was damaged during the hard-landing on the Lunar surface. Efforts to establish contact with the Vikram module continues," ISRO chief said PTI. 

What happened during Vikram's soft-landing?

Earlier on Saturday morning at 1:50 AM when Vikram was scheduled to land, ISRO's Deep Space Antenna lost communication with Chandrayaan-2's lander- Vikram as it descended towards the lunar surface. The lander had descended from 30 km to 2km smoothly. During the final smooth braking stage, it had lost communication with Mission Control. Vikram was aimed at soft-landing on the moon, making India the fourth country to do so.
