72-year-old Sudha Murty, acclaimed author, philanthropist, chairperson of the Infosys Foundation and a recent recipient of Padma Bhushan, faced a unique problem recently.
Her simple attire often deceives people, who find it hard to believe that she is the mother-in-law of the United Kingdom's first Indian-origin Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.
Sudha Murty, who is married to Infosys co-founder and businessman Narayan Murthy, recently shared the reaction of an immigration officer when she gave the UK PM's address as her residence address.
Sudha Murty Shares Immigration Officer's Reaction
During a recent episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, Sudha Murty shared how an immigration officer refused to believe her residential address when she wrote "10 Downing Street" on the form. 10 Downing Street is the official residence and office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Sudha Murty's daughter, Akshata, is married to Rishi Sunak, who currently resides at 10 Downing Street.
¡°Once when I had gone, they asked me my residential address. ¡®Where are you staying in London?¡¯ My elder sister was with me and I thought should I write '10 Downing Street'. My son also lives there (in UK), but I didn¡¯t remember his complete address. But I finally wrote 10 Downing Street,¡± Sudha recalled on the show.
She said that the immigration officer looked at her and asked, "Are you joking?!" She responded, "Nahi, sachchi bolti hu" (No, I am telling you the truth).

"See how a wife can change a husband. But I could not change my husband. I made my husband a businessman, and my daughter made her husband a Prime Minister."
