Dr K Sivan has become one of the celebrities of India due to the Chandrayan-2 Project. Chandrayan-2 had created the great excitement among the Indian people. The whole country watched the landing of 'Vikram Yan' on the Moon. Unfortunately the Vikram Yan lost the contact with the 'Control Center ' due to hard landing. However 'ISRO' has achieved the 95% of its objectives. Besides that it has made Dr K Sivan a great 'Hiro' among Indian people. Even Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India , was present to watch the landing 'Vikram Lander' over Moon. Dr K Sivan became Emotional for the lost of contact with the Vikram Lander. However PM consoled him for the same.
Thereafter once Dr K Sivan was travelling in the Economic Class of one of the Airlines like a ordinary Citizen. However crew members of plane identified him and announced of his presence on the board. All traveling members thereon on stood up and gave standing ovation to their Hero. The humble Dr Sivan waved at them and return their love and affection. This incidence shows that how the mood of Indian people are changing. They are now recognizing their scientist. There was a time when only top film star or cricketer only use to get such reception.
