Former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, ESA (European Space Agency) astronauts Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski of Poland, and Tibor Kapu of Hungary lifted off at Noon IST on June 25, on the SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
Earlier, in a live interaction from aboard the spacecraft, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, serving as the mission pilot, described the launch as 'magical' and reflected on his journey.
'I am thrilled to be here with my fellow astronauts--what a ride it was. Honestly, as I sat in the capsule 'Grace' on the launchpad yesterday after 30 days of quarantine, all I could think was: just go. When the launch finally happened, it was something else entirely. You're pushed back into the seat--and then suddenly, there's silence. You're just floating in the vacuum, and it's magical,' Shukla said.
He expressed gratitude to the mission team, calling the experience a 'collective achievement.'
'I truly appreciate the efforts of every individual who made this journey possible. It's not just a personal accomplishment--it belongs to all of us,' he said.

‘We are 60': Michelle on divorce rumors, explains why she's rarely seen with Barack Obama
Michelle and Barack Obama (ANI) Former US first lady Michelle Obama has once again addressed the rumours surrounding her marriage with former President Barack Obama, saying the reason behind them seldom being photographed together is simply because they're 'too old for Instagram". 'The fact that people don't see me going out on a date with my husband sparks rumors of the end of our marriage,' 61-year-old Obama told NPR podcast host Rachel Martin. 'It's like, 'OK, so we don't Instagram every minute of our lives. We are 60. We're 60, y'all,'' she said. 'You just are not gonna know what we're doing every minute of the day.' The former first lady explained that she deliberately went against expectations by choosing not to attend high-profile events, such as former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and President Donald Trump's inauguration, and acknowledged that she had to 'own it' when her absence drew backlash and further fueled speculation about problems in her marriage. 'One of the major decisions I made this year was to stay put and not attend funerals and inaugurations and all the things that I'm supposed to attend,' she said. 'That was a part of me using my ambition to say, 'Let me define what I want to do, apart from what I'm supposed to do, what the world expects of me.' And I have to own that. Those are my choices,' she added, acknowledging that her choice to stay away had sparked criticism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo 'Whatever the backlash was, I had to sit in it and own it. But I didn't regret it, you know? It's my life now, and I can say that, now,' she said. Michelle Obama has spoken candidly about her family and marriage challenges on her podcast, IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother, Craig Robinson. She also shared how she felt the need to scale back her personal ambitions as both a working mother and the first lady. 'As a working mother, I - you know, I think all of that stuff, it kind of cut my ambitions short a little bit. Because I had to make a set of decisions, 'OK, my husband's over here, I've got these kids over here. I don't know if I can afford to be ambitious right now. So I have to take a step back,'' she said. Michelle Obama has previously responded to the rumors about her marriage, firmly stating that if they were true, she wouldn't remain silent. Last month on a podcast "The Diary of a CEO' Obama told the host Steven Barlett, 'If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it. My brother would know it. I'd be problem-solving in public. I'm not a martyr,' she said. Amid ongoing divorce rumors, the Obamas made a public appearance last month, enjoying a date at the upscale Lowell Hotel restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, and were also spotted looking affectionate during another dinner outing in Washington, DC, back in April.

Ahead of the release, the actors spoke about their experience working on the film and what makes it special for them. Shanaya Kapoor, who is stepping into Bollywood with this film, said she feels connected to her character, Saba. Speaking to ANI, she said, "My role is very special. I am playing the role of Saba. I have learnt a lot from Saba. There is a lot of difference between me and Saba. Sometimes you read a script and you are just showcasing a girl or a character. But with Saba, she had a different start in the film, and she grows into something very different. I found that very unique. I got a lot of connectivity from that story. I am very excited. Let's see how the audience will feel. I have worked very hard. I have worked from the bottom of my heart." Vikrant Massey also shared his excitement about the film. He said that the movie brings back the feel of old-school Bollywood romance, something not often seen in recent years. He said, "Speaking of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, it's a very good film for both of us. For me too, because I'm playing such a role for the first time. It's a classical Bollywood romantic film, and over the last few years we've seen such films almost stop being made. This is our effort to bring back a traditional Bollywood film for the audience." The film is presented by Zee Studios and Mini Films and produced by Mansi Bagla, Varun Bagla , and Open Window Films. It is directed by Santosh Singh and written by Mansi Bagla.
