Sudha Murty recalls when husband Narayana Murthy ate her saltless cooking to appreciate her effort: ‘He wouldn’t complain’

“Wives should cook bad food to keep their husbands’ weight in check,” she joked, drawing laughter from the audience.

When Kapil directed the same question to Narayana Murthy, he was quick to compliment Sudha, saying, “One should try to find happiness in every situation—that’s the most useful thing I’ve learned from her.” He went on to mention how she introduced him to Hindi and Kannada films and South Indian classical music.

Sudha also recounted a memorable instance that highlighted her husband’s thoughtfulness and patience. “I’m not an expert in cooking, so I usually don’t take that risk. Murthy isn’t a foodie, and that’s an advantage for me. Once, I accidentally forgot to add salt to a dish, and he ate it without complaint. Later, when I tasted it, I realized I hadn’t added any salt. When I asked him why he didn’t tell me, he said that since I’d taken time out of my busy schedule to cook, he wouldn’t complain,” she recalled.

The episode also featured Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and his wife, Grecia Muñoz, who joined NR Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy on the show.
