Space Gen: Chandrayaan’s Cast Reflects On The Lives Of Scientists

Nakuul Mehta, popularly known for shows like Ishqbaaaz and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2, when asked about his perspective on scientists’ lives, said, “I don’t know how many of us really consider them heroes. Sometimes it’s an occasion like this (Chandrayaan) when the whole country looks up to them and says, ‘Wow, we’ve achieved’. Logo ko nahi pata ki humare scientists kin paristhitiyon mein, COVID ke dauran bhi kaam kar rahe the. Aasan nahi hai yeh. Imagine the disappointment of Chandrayan 2, plus you’re going through COVID ki pata nahi aage zindagi bachegi ki nahi. Aur hum soch rahe hai ki hum chaand par jaa rahe hai.”

Shriya Saran On Women Scientists

Talking about women scientists, Shriya said, “Main jab bhi launch ke videos dekhti hu toh it’s very interesting ki har ek picture aur video mein you see these beautiful women in sarees, gajras, aur mujhe lagta hai unko represent karna bohot zaruri tha. So it’s a very beautifully written story. Jo yeh kahani hai, jaise Nakuul ne kaha vo logo tak pohchana bohot zaruri tha.”
