Sudha Murty says immigration officer refused to believe her address in London was 10 Downing Street: ‘I look too simple to be PM’s mom-in-law’

During the latest episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, Sudha Murty recalled how an immigration refused to believe her residential address when she wrote in the form ’10 Downing Street’ — the official residence and office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

“Once when I had gone, they asked me my residential address. ‘Where are you staying in London?’ My elder sister was with me and I thought should I write ’10 Downing Street’. My son also lives there (in UK), but I didn’t remember his complete address. But I finally wrote 10 Downing Street. That fellow (the immigration officer) looked at me and said, ‘Are you joking?!’

“I told him ‘nahi, sachchi bolti hu’ (No, I am telling you the truth). He thought I was joking. No one believes that I, a 72 year old, simple lady, can be the mother-in-law of the Prime Minister,” she said on the show.

On the episode, she was joined by producer Guneet Monga, who recently won an Oscar and actor Raveena Tandon, who was awarded the fourth highest civilian award, Padma Shri. In April, Sudha Murty was conferred the Padma Bhushan at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi.
