Rishi Sunak enjoys sweets with in-laws at Delhi's Bengali Market

Former UK PM Rishi Sunak visits iconic Bengali Sweet House with in-laws, creating a buzz in Central Delhi's popular market

"I stuffed some sweets at Bengali sweets - Rishi Sunak"

New Delhi, Oct 17

Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak joined his father and mother-in-law in enjoying local cuisine at a restaurant in Central Delhi's Bengali Market, a VIP appearance that attracted the attention of shoppers and diners in the upscale business district, said a shop owner on Friday.

"I stuffed some sweets at Bengali sweets," said Sunak at the NDTV World Summit 2025, crediting his mother-in-law, Sudha Murthy, a Rajya Sabha member who is aware of Delhi's popular spots, for suggesting the restaurant for their family outing.

He also shared his plans to shop at Khan Market in Central Delhi later.

While enjoying family time with his in-laws at Bengali Market, Sunak was seen accepting greetings from other diners and the owner of the Bengali Sweet House.

Dressed in a white shirt, red necktie and formal trousers, Sunak sat on a chair at the restaurant table facing father-in-law N.R. Narayana Murthy, founder of Infosys, with his mother-in-law sitting on the left on the couch.

Curious onlookers could be seen making videos and taking pictures of the special visitors from the large windows of the restaurant that overlook the walkway of the illuminated, iconic market.

The Bengali Sweet House that Sunak and the Murthy family visited on Thursday evening was established in 1937. The market, a stone's throw from Delhi's art and theatre district at Mandi House, is a popular hangout place for tourists and artistes, including Bollywood actors who have graduated from the National School of Drama nearby.

Sunak is in Delhi to take part in the NDTV World Summit 2025 is centred around the theme 'Edge of the Unknown: Risk. Resolve. Renewal.' The two-day gathering is an invitation to venture beyond boundaries and borders - to explore the unfamiliar in pursuit of a more conscious, collective future.

Earlier, Sunak said that he has joined US tech giant Microsoft and AI startup Anthropic as a senior adviser.

Sunak, who stepped down as the leader of the opposition Conservative Party following a defeat in the general election last July, continues to serve as a member of the British Parliament.

In a LinkedIn post, Sunak said that the proceeds from the roles will be donated in full to The Richmond Project, a charity he started with his wife, Akshata Murty.

Bengali Sweet House has been serving the best sweets since 1937! Great choice by Sudha Murthy ji. Their rosogolla and sandesh are legendary. Hope he also tries the kachori from the nearby shops!

Interesting to see a former UK PM in such a local setting. Shows how Delhi's markets can attract anyone from common people to world leaders. The blend of traditional sweets with modern global figures is fascinating.

While it's nice to see him enjoying Indian culture, I hope his visit brings more than just photo ops. India-UK relations need substantive discussions, not just sweet-eating sessions. The charity donation is commendable though.

The Murthy family showing him the real Delhi experience! Bengali Market to Khan Market - that's the perfect Delhi food and shopping trail. Makes me nostalgic for my last visit to Delhi 🎯

"I stuffed some sweets" - typical Indian uncle phrase! 😄 He's definitely picked up the local lingo. Good to see him embracing his Indian connections so genuinely.
