Prakash Raj shares "moon memories" with Sunita Williams at Kerala Literature Festival 2026

Actor Prakash Raj shares his cherished meeting with NASA astronaut Sunita Williams at KLF, where she spoke on technology and India's space future.

"Dreams are only as big as their imaginations - Sunita Williams"

Kozhikode, January 23

Actor Prakash Raj met National Aeronautics and Space Administration astronaut Sunita Williams at the Kerala Literature Festival in Kozhikode on Thursday.

Taking to his official X handle, Prakash Raj shared glimpses from the meeting, cherishing his conversation with Williams.

"What a moment to cherish .... to meet .. to have conversed with such a courageous woman of our times .. #SunithaWilliams at #KLF ... sharing with you all my over the moon memories," the actor wrote in his caption.

In the post, a cheerful Prakash Raj could be seen posing for pictures while also enthusiastically showing his phone to Williams.

Speaking at the event, Sunita Williams spoke about the importance of technology.

"Dreams are only as big as their imaginations, and particularly in this environment today, things are changing so rapidly, and people are coming up with ideas and actually making them come true. In the past, inventions were potentially hindered by technology, and now technology is racing up to the inventions people are having. Imagination is really the only limitation," she told ANI.

She further emphasised how the cultural ties have played a significant role in shaping her identity, adding, "In both countries, it's pretty amazing. I'm really happy and honoured to be here in India with everyone."

Speaking on India's space aspirations, Williams expressed excitement about the country's growing space program, saying, "I'm excited for the Indian Space program. Any ideas are becoming reality. I think as they get more and more involved internationally, as well as on that with their own program, standing on their own two feet, they're going to go to space before too long."

Held annually in Kozhikode, India's first UNESCO City of Literature, the Kerala Literature Festival has emerged as one of the world's largest literary gatherings. The previous edition recorded over 6.5 lakh visitors and featured more than 600 speakers.

KLF is putting Kozhikode on the global map! 6.5 lakh visitors is no joke. Proud to see such events in Kerala. Sunita Williams acknowledging our space program is a big boost. Chandrayaan paved the way!

Respectfully, while this is a nice feel-good story, I wish our media gave more coverage to the Indian scientists at ISRO who are actually *doing* the work, rather than just celebrities meeting foreign astronauts. Just my two paise.

Love this cross-cultural moment! Sunita's point about technology now racing to catch up with our ideas is so true. The energy at KLF must have been electric. Wish I could have been there!

"Standing on their own two feet" – that's the key phrase. We have the talent and the ambition. Gaganyaan is next! Jai Hind! 🚀

Prakash Raj showing his phone to her is such a dad thing to do 😂. Probably showing pictures of his family or his garden! Lovely to see such genuine interactions at literature festivals.
