The mural was painted along the Shaheed Path near Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in&nbsp;Gomti Nagar in preparation for the UP investor&#39;s summit. It is a part of a project #BornInLucknow.&nbsp;

Yogesh Saini, founder of Delhi Street Art that was behind the murals, said that they had honoured the people who were born in Lucknow and painted six murals that included one of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He said,&nbsp;&quot;After we painted the Richard mural, I went on Twitter to see if I could tag him. While Sir Richards is not on Twitter, I tagged a fan account that looked fairly official. Then I forgot all about it. This was three days ago.&quot;

Saini got a surprise on Tuesday when he received a message on his Facebook profile by a person who introduced himself as the owner of a radio station in New Zealand. This radio station owner turned out to be a friend of Richard who then shared the Delhi Street Art post with him.&nbsp;

Saini narrated:&nbsp;&quot;This person told me that Sir Richard liked the post and had reacted to it. He then sent me a link to his Facebook account on which he had thanked Lucknow. I was super stoked that Sir Richard took notice and sent a personal note of appreciation! It shows that deep down he is a humble, down-to-earth person!&quot;

Richard was born at the King George&#39;s Medical College hospital in 1940. His paternal grandfather lived in the colony near Sibtainabad Imambara in Hazratganj.
