Celebrities congratulate ISRO on India's successful #MarsMission

Calling it a 'proud' and 'historic' moment for India, Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar and Sridevi hailed ISRO for the successful placing of the Mangalyaan satellite in the orbit around Mars today morning.

With the success of 'Mangalyaan', India has become the first country to go to Mars in the very first try. European, American and Russian probes have managed to orbit or land on the planet, but after several attempts. Here are some of the tweets.

Amitabh Bachchan:
