UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described his visit to India for the G20 Summit as "obviously special", jokingly referring to himself as the "son-in-law of India" courtesy his wife Akshata Murty's Indian heritage. After landing in Delhi, Sunak's first stop was visiting students to underscore the India-UK "living bridge". During the Summit, Sunak won appreciation by embracing his roots - from walking barefoot at Raj Ghat to sitting cross-legged with Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina. The first British PM of Indian origin charmed India with his warmth and lack of ego while bonding with the culture. Whether visiting Akshardham temple or interacting with media in Bollywood-style, Sunak emerged as a leader who prioritizes people over protocol. By wholeheartedly embracing his Indian connections, he won over the Indian public during his "special" visit.
