Sudha Murthy recalls first meeting with husband Narayan Murthy, expected him to look like a hero: ‘I thought who’s this kid’

“There was a friend of mine called Prasanna, who would bring me a book every day with Narayan Murthy’s name written on the first page along with names of various locations. I thought is this Narayan Murthy fellow an international bus conductor? (When I was first about to meet him) I thought he would look like a film’s hero, dashing and handsome, but when he opened the door, I thought who is this person, this kid?” the author said as guest Raveena Tandon and host Kapil Sharma burst into laughter.

People were amused with the writer’s unforeseen side as one user wrote in comments section, “Ohh I will definitely watch the episode. My favourite Sudha Murthy ji she is an inspiration for all Indians.” Another mentioned, “Sudha Murty is such a savage I didn’t know. No wonder her books are also so witty.” Yet another fan wrote, “Amazing to see Sudha Murthy ji.”

Besides being a bestselling writer, Sudha Murthy is also an educator and philanthropist, who was conferred with the Padma Shri for her contribution to society in 2006.
