Rishi Sunak, Akshita Murthy Spotted at Coffee Shop in Bengaluru, See Pics

Bengaluru: Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, made headlines after they were spotted at Third Wave Coffee in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, on Wednesday. The couple, in the city for official work, created a buzz when locals noticed them placing their order at the café counter and casually sitting down. 

The scene quickly captured attention, and several social media users shared pictures of the couple, who appeared relaxed in the café. Sunak, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, was joined by Murty, who wore a pastel-colored kurta. 

One café-goer posted on social media, saying, "Spotted Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty right across from my table at Third Wave. It really does pay off going to Third Wave!"

Apart from the café visit, the high-profile couple also made time to visit the Sri Raghavendra Swami Mutt in Jayanagar, Bengaluru. Along with Murty's parents—Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy and author-philanthropist Sudha Murty—they sought blessings during the auspicious Kartik month.

Rishi Sunak's ties to India have often been a topic of interest, especially after his tenure as the first British-Indian Prime Minister. His return to Bengaluru, where his in-laws’ company Infosys is based, sparked both curiosity and lighthearted comments online. 

The visit included participation in temple rituals, with Sudha Murty seen giving donations for the family to offer at the temple. Though Sunak and Murty’s visit made waves on social media, neither has publicly shared any images or posts about their time in Bengaluru.

Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty, who met while studying at Stanford University, have two daughters, Anoushka and Krishna. Their visit to Bengaluru not only grabbed attention but also highlighted their strong ties to the city, with many reflecting on the family’s deep-rooted connections to both India and the tech industry.
