While a person's religion is a private matter, I would suggest that the fact that she took a copy of the Bhagavad Gita with her into space indicates that she is not. The recent claims of her converting because of things she saw from the moon is a hoax. No shuttle has gone to the moon and is designed only for low earth orbit.

AnswerWhile I do not know what religion she is, this question may refer to a hoax that has been around which claims that she converted to Islam because of things that she saw while on the moon. The claim refers to her as the 'first Indian woman on the moon'. This is completely false. Not only is she not the first Indian woman on the moon, there have been no women at all on the moon as yet. She did live on the ISS for a time, but definitely did not go to the moon! The gross factual errors alone show the credibility of the claim. Similar claims exist about other celebrities too which are mainly due to evangelist enthusiasm.

In her recent visit to Gujarat,India the country to which she belonged originally,during press meet she never claimed that she had embraced Islam.
