Veteran actor Prakash Raj on Sunday mocked the Indian Moon Mission, but faced a backlash on social media.

Taking to X, Prakash Raj shared a caricature of a man in a shirt and lungi pouring tea. He wrote the caption in his native language, which read, “First view just arrived from Chandrayaan … #VikramLander #justasking.” This tweet did not go well among netizens and the actor faced severe backlash.

One of the users wrote, “Actor Prakash Raj is making a dirty joke of scientist K Sivan wearing a lungi and the country’s achievement – Chandrayaan 3. How you people can tolerate this?”

Another tweeted, “What a shame you have become for just nothing…”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
