Both Sunak and Hasina were attendees at the G20 Summit, which concluded on Sunday. The candid snapshot of their friendly exchange has garnered widespread attention on social media.

In the photo, Sunak can be observed sitting barefoot on one knee beside Sheikh Hasina, who is seated on a wooden chair.

Another user described the photo as "charming" and "endearing," while someone else praised Sunak as a "gentleman."

Earlier on Sunday, accompanied by his wife Akshata Murty, Sunak visited the Akshardham Temple in East Delhi and participated in aarti at the temple. He had previously expressed his pride in being a Hindu and his intention to visit a temple during his trip to India.

Following the temple visit, Sunak paid his respects to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat.

During the G20 Summit, Sunak held discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the progress of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations. He expressed optimism that 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 to further these discussions, an offer Sunak accepted while congratulating him on the successful G20 Summit.
