Shubhanshu Shukla's Heartfelt Message In Hindi After Historic Axiom-4 Docking: ‘Ek Chhota Sa Sandesh Mere Pyare Deshwasiyon Ke Liye'

The successful docking of SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft 'Grace' at the International Space Station as part of the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission has created history for Shubhanshu Shukla and for India, which has sent its first citizen to the ISS.

After the historic docking, Shukla addressed the nation in Hindi with a heartfelt message filled with pride and gratitude. He said, "Ek chhota sa sandesh mere pyare deshwasiyon ke liye:

Aapke pyaar aur aashirvaad se mai International Space Station par surakshit mein pahunch chuka hun aur bahut aasan dikh raha hai yahan khade hona lekin ye mushkil hai. Thoda sa sir bhari hai, thodi takleef ho rahi hai. Lekin ye sab bahut chhoti cheezein hai aur kuchh dino mein hum iske used to ho jayenge."

"Aur ye pehla padaav hai is journey ka aur aage 14 din yahan par rehkar hum kaafi saare science experiments karenge, logon se baatcheet karenge lekin kahin na kahin ye jo padaav hai, ye bhi dikhata hai ki hamari apni space journey ka bhi padaav hai. Toh maine baat ki thi aapse kuchh der pehle jab mai Dragon par tha aur abhi yahan se aage bhi baat karta rahunga.

Chaliye is journey ko aur excited banate hain aur utsah se isme participate karte hain. Mai bahut utsahit hun. Mai apne shoulder pe jo tiranga lekar chal raha hun, mai maanta hun aap sab mere sath hain, mai ye samajh leta hun ki aap sab bhi mere sath utsahit hain. Agle 14 din bahut hi excited jane wale hain. Dhanyawaad!"

His words reflect the spirit of discovery, national pride, and a personal connection with every Indian watching the mission unfold.
