After Rishi Sunak assumed charge as Britain's 57th Prime Minister, renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, who is known for works such as 'Mr. India', 'Masoom', 'Bandit Queen' and 'Elizabeth', used the opportunity to recollect the harrowing experiences of the Indian community when he first went to the UK.

Congratulating the new prime minister, Kapur took to his Twitter and shared a note saying: "When I first went to the UK as a student, Indians were most likely seen sweeping the floors at Heathrow. Or ran corner shops."
