CM Mamata Banerjee’s Gaffe: Rakesh Roshan Trends on Social Media

West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, made a gaffe during a public event when she mistakenly referred to Rakesh Roshan instead of Rakesh Sharma while congratulating the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Chandrayaan-3 for their achievement of landing on the Moon’s south pole. The incident led to Rakesh Roshan trending on social media.

Social media users were quick to notice the mistake and memes started circulating on the internet. Netizens sarcastically pointed out that it was Rakesh Sharma, not the Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan’s father, who went to space. Rakesh Sharma is renowned as the first Indian astronaut.

During his conversation with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from space, Rakesh Sharma famously replied to her question, “How does India look like from space?” with the iconic response, “Better than the entire world.”

The gaffe by CM Mamata Banerjee not only drew attention to her mistake, but also led to Rakesh Roshan becoming a topic of discussion on social media. Numerous memes were created, featuring Rakesh Roshan’s face superimposed onto an astronaut’s suit.

It is important to clarify that Rakesh Sharma, while being the first Indian to go to space, has never been to the moon.
