“I do not consider them a burden. I will make them so educated and successful that one day they are able to travel to the moon,” Meena said. Meena did not disclose the amount she paid for the acre of land near the Lake of Happiness in a colony envisioned by the Luna Society on the moon. Meena is probably the first woman from Rajasthan who has bought land on the moon.
Earlier, Dharmendra of Ajmer had gifted land on the surface of the moon to his wife. Meena said she bought the land on the moon with the help of a friend based in Ireland. I made up my mind to buy the land and my husband also agreed to this,” she said. Pertinently, many celebrities have bought land on the moon, although it is believed that buying land on the moon is not valid under international space law.
But Luna Society and International Luna Lands Registry Company claim to be selling land on the moon. In India, many VIPs including film actor Shah Rukh Khan, late Sushant Singh Rajput, stock market analyst Rajeev Bagdi, Lalit Mohta, Vijay Katheria have joined the club to buy land on the moon.
