After this, famous singers Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Hariharan and Neeti Mohan congratulate her by singing Mohammad Rafi’s song ‘Baar Baar Din Ye Aaye’.

Sunita Williams is currently in the International Space Station (ISS). She will celebrate her 59th birthday tomorrow. She reached the ISS in June with Barry Wilmore as part of the first Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission of Boeing’s Starliner capsule. This was Boeing’s first space flight with astronauts through the Starliner capsule. Before reaching the space station on June 6, it faced thruster problems and helium leakage. Due to this, both these pilots of the US space agency NASA will now remain on the ISS till next year.
