New Delhi:
From fixing his tie on the plane to sharing a red umbrella during a temple trip in the rain, Akshata Murty’s candid photos with husband and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stole the show during the couple’s trip to India for the G20 summit.
The Insta-worthy moments started with a photo of Ms Murty fixing Mr Sunak’s tie just before she disembarked. The photo came from an Instagram post shared by the British Prime Minister.
Before landing, Mr Sunak told media people traveling with him that it was a special trip for him. “It’s obviously special. I saw somewhere I was referred to as India’s son-in-law, which I hope was affectionately,” he said. Ms. Murty is the daughter of Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy.
Shortly after landing on Friday, Mr Sunak and Ms Murty went to the British Council, where they interacted with students. Captured here was another candid moment of the couple chatting with students. The photos were posted by Mr Sunak on X, formerly Twitter.
The dinner for world leaders, hosted by President Droupadi Murmu, provided even more photo-worthy moments. In one photo, Mrs. Murty, dressed in Indian attire, is welcomed to dinner. The photos were shared by Union Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey.
This morning, the British power couple visited the Akshardham Temple in East Delhi. On a rainy morning, the candid photo of the couple under a red umbrella is sure to win hearts. Pictures from inside the temple show them performing “aarti” together.
Mr Sunak and Ms Murty will fly back later today. In addition to attending the G20 summit, Mr Sunak also had a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines. “Two nations, one ambition. An ambition rooted in our shared values, the connection between our people and – of course – our passion for cricket,” he tweeted after the meeting.
