Several users posted and retweeted the photograph while praising Sunak. “Big man don’t have ego! Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the UK sat down on the floor to match the comfort – in a tete-a-tete with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,” a social media user wrote in his post as he shared the photo.

Another user described the photo as “lovely” and “adorable” and another lauded Sunak as a “gentleman”.

Earlier on Sunday, Sunak, accompanied by his wife Akshata Murty, visited the Akshardham Temple in east Delhi and performed aarti at the temple. He had earlier said he’s a “proud Hindu” and would visit a temple during his visit to India.

Following the temple visit, Sunak proceeded to Rajghat to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

During the G20 Summit, Sunak discussed the progress of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed optimism that the remaining issues would be resolved soon, leading to the signing of a mutually beneficial FTA.

PM Modi extended an invitation to Sunak for a bilateral visit for further discussions, which Sunak accepted while congratulating him on a successful G20 Summit.
