‘cHanda mama door ke’ star susHant singH

rajput registers a piece of land on moon

ushant Singh Rajput’s interests beyond acting have been no secret. The actor has been quite
vocal about his inclination towards reading, astronomy and more. And that’s exactly why the fact
Sthat the ‘Raabta’ actor has bought a land on the moon shouldn’t come as a surprise. Sushant
reportedly confirmed the same in an interview. He claimed that the piece of land that he has acquired is
situated on the far side of the moon, in a region called the Mare Muscoviense, or the “Sea of Muscovy”.

Earlier speaking about the same, he told an agency that he would like to believe that the different ways
people answer questions ‘are’ the answers to those questions. He further said that so the variations
in the way they punctuate the narratives; the nuance, would create the different versions of reality in
future. He added that his mother used to tell him that his life will be the story that he will tell himself.
And so he is just punctuating a nuance right now and already is, over the Moon.

The actor has bought the property from the International Lunar Lands Registry. Sushant is certainly the
first Bollywood actor to actually own a land on the moon. Before this, Shah Rukh Khan was the only
one to own a lunar land. However, the actor didn’t buy rather it was offered to him as a present by a fan

As reported, Sushant got the property registered on June 25, 2018. But it is also interesting to note that
it may not amount to a legal ownership, as an international treaty states that, “Outer space, including
the Moon and other celestial bodies, are the common heritage of mankind and cannot be owned by
any nation.”
