‘Are You Joking?’; Sudha Murty’s 10 Downing St. Address Surprises UK Officer | Mint In Focus

Sudha Murthy, a popular public figure in India is an author and philanthropist, founder of the Infosys Foundation, wife of Infosys founder Nayaran Murthy, and she is also the mother-in-law to one of the most powerful leaders in the world - the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak, a well known and much-celebrated fact in India. But it is perhaps not as well known in the UK… Recently, she found herself in an awkward situation at the London airport as a consequence, when an immigration officer refused to believe that her address was, in fact, 10 Downing Street! Also, the address of the British PM.

The prime minister of the UK has not been considered as a powerful international leader for a long time. The same trend continues to Mr. Rishi Sunak.
