Bangalore. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s in-laws are in India, but Infosys founders NR Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy rarely talk about him. Writer and philanthropist Sudha Murthy said she is “delighted” that her son-in-law Rishi Sunak has become the UK’s PM. Indian-origin Rishi Sunak was elected unopposed as the new leader of the ruling Conservative Party on October 24. And from October 25, he took over as the Prime Minister of Britain.

Social worker Sudha Murthy said in the interview, ‘He has become the PM. Okay, I am happy, nothing more.’ Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murthy met at Stanford, later married in 2009 and now have two daughters.

When he became Britain’s first Indian-origin Prime Minister, Narayan Murthy said in a statement, ‘Congratulations to Rishi. We are proud of them and wish them success. We are sure that he will do his best for the people of Britain.

Asked whether she had political discussions with Rishi Sunak, Sudha Murthy said: ‘No, never. He was always our son-in-law. I wish him all the best.’ Was she interested in reading about her son-in-law or his progress in Britain? She said, ‘I take care of the things of my country, he takes care of his things.’

Sudha Murthy, wife of billionaire businessman and Infosys founder Narayan Murthy, prayed for the well-being of her son-in-law and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at a temple in Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district. Sudha, who reached Deogarh tehsil of the district, about 500 km from Mumbai, visited the Durga Devi temple in Baparde village on Wednesday.

A temple priest near Mumbai was seen praying to Goddess Durga on behalf of Sudha Murthy for the welfare of her son-in-law. Similarly, in another video, she was seen jokingly telling students of Yashwantrao Rane Higher Secondary School in Baparde at an event that they should only be asked about her and not Rishi Sunak.
