She said, "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 also shared her affection for India, saying, "In both countries, it's pretty amazing. I'm really happy and honoured to be here in India with everyone."

For Prakash Raj, pride in scientific achievement is nothing new. In 2023, he had openly celebrated India’s historic Chandrayaan-3 mission, writing, "INDIA.. PROUD MOMENTS OF MANKIND .. THANKS #ISRO #Chandrayaan3 #VikramLander AND TO ALL WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE .. LET THIS BE THE WAY TO EXPLORE MORE WONDERS OF THE WIDE WORLD .. CELEBRATE .. #justasking."
