For the unversed, the wedding took place on January 17, but the couple kept it under wraps, likely due to Prashanth Balakrishnan Nair's recent project.

The other astronauts are Group Captains Angad Pratap, Ajit Krishnan, and Wing Commander Shubhanshu Shukla.
Lena took to her Instagram to share a glimpse of their wedding, revealing they had a traditional ceremony through an arranged marriage. In her heartfelt note, she mentioned the historic moment when Prime Minister Modi awarded the First Indian Astronaut Wings to Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair on February 27. She explained that due to confidentiality requirements, she waited for the announcement to reveal their marriage, which took place on January 17, 2024. Previously, Lena was married to Abhilash Kumar in 2004, but the couple parted ways in 2013.
