"In the news, we saw many big people like Shah Rukh Khan, recently deceased actor Sushant Singh Rajput, and others who bought land on the moon, after which I started collecting information about it. I came to know about the online sale and purchase of land on the moon by a US society 'Luna Society International'," said Kumar.

He further said, "Then I contacted the society through Google and applied for one acre of land in October of 2019. I had given around Rs. 48,000 at that time ... money was converted from Indian rupees to dollars. After a lot of online paperwork, I got a message on July 4, 2020, that my deed had been completed,"

"If I get a chance, I would love to go to the moon," he added. (ANI)
