Rishi Sunak's Special Bond with In-Laws Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murty Revealed at NDTV Summit

The bond between their globally renowned son-in-law, Rishi Sunak, a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the Murthys - NR Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murty - was prominently displayed during the NDTV World Summit in Delhi.

Sudha Murty, the mother-in-law, affectionately referred to Rishi Sunak as "my new son."

"So, I call Rishi my new son. I've dedicated a book to you, Rishi, my new son," Sudha Murty expressed, with her son-in-law present on stage.

Rishi acknowledged this warm gesture with a smile and a namaste.

When asked who listens to her more, her daughter Akshata or Rishi, Sudha Murty chose her son-in-law.

"But Rishi listens to me more, I think. Rishi listens," she remarked.

"I wonder what Akshata would say when she listens to this," Rishi commented humorously.

"Thankfully, she's not here," he added with a smile.

Rishi was equally generous in his praise for his mother-in-law.

"What I learnt from my mother-in-law is her extraordinary compassion and empathy. My wife has it, as my mother-in-law has it. The way my mother-in-law can interact with people from every walk of life is something that's extraordinary, and I want to learn that from her," Rishi Sunak shared.

Shifting to discuss his father-in-law's impact on his life, Rishi Sunak revealed that he was the one who encouraged him to enter politics.

"My father-in-law was very instrumental in my entry into politics. He said to me that you should go into politics, as that's the best way to make a difference," Rishi Sunak explained.

When asked to choose his favorite between his two in-laws, Rishi Sunak diplomatically responded, "Just as you don't pick between your children, you don't pick between your in-laws."

When Narayana Murthy was asked about his assessment of his highly successful son-in-law and why he had encouraged him to pursue politics, he highlighted Rishi's "intelligence, integrity."

"He is intelligent. He was highly accomplished in his work. He is a man of integrity, a man of principles. We have seen so many transactions that have brought these things up. He is a wonderful example of somebody that should be in politics at this point in time in the world," the father-in-law stated.
