NEW DELHI (ANI) – Malayalam actor Lena announced her marriage to Gaganyaan pilot Captain Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair just hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the names of four Indian Air Force pilots who will participate in India’s first human space travel program, Gaganyaan.

She took to Instagram to share that, to maintain legally mandated anonymity, she was waiting for this announcement before revealing her marriage to him.

Lena confirmed that she married Prasanth on January 17, 2024. This marks the actress’ second marriage.

In the video, the couple can be seen wearing garlands and posing in traditional outfits beside their family members.

Apart from Nair, the other chosen Indian Air Force pilots are Group Captain Ajit Krishnan, Group Captain Angad Pratap, and Wing Commander Shubhanshu Shukla. The four astronauts were trained at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Russia.

The Gaganyaan mission is India’s first human space flight program, for which extensive preparations are underway at various ISRO centers.
