UK PM Rishi Sunak reacted to Akshata Murty's post and said it was a "proud day".
Author and philanthropist Sudha Murty was recently conferred Padma Bhushan for her social work by President Droupadi Murmu. Her daughter, Akshata Murty, who is married to the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, was one of the attendees of the ceremony. Later, she took to Instagram to share her "unspeakable pride" as her mother received the award for her extraordinary journey. UK PM Rishi Sunak reacted to the same and said it was a "proud day".
"Yesterday I watched with unspeakable pride as my mother received the Padma Bhushan award from the President of India in recognition of her contributions in social work," wrote Ms Murty.
Although Sudha Murty's charity and voluntary activities became her daughter's greatest influence, the UK First Lady claimed that her mother has had a remarkable journey. She emphasised several ways her mother has supported those less fortunate, including forming and managing charitable institutions for 25 years, sponsoring various programmes to increase literacy and assuring prompt relief for those living in remote areas of the country following natural disasters.
