'My daughter made her husband PM': Rishi Sunak's mother-in-law on his success

Sudha Murty, the mother-in-law of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, recently claimed that her daughter Akshata Murty played a significant role in making her husband a Prime Minister.

A video featuring Sudha Murty is being circulated on social media, where she asserts that Rishi Sunak became the UK's youngest prime minister due to her daughter. She further elaborates that her daughter Akshata's influence on her husband resulted in him becoming the Prime Minister.

According to an Instagram post, Sudha Murty mentioned that "The reason is the glory of the wife. See how a wife can change a husband. But I could not change my husband. I made my husband a businessman, and my daughter made her husband a Prime Minister."

Rishi Sunak, who married Akshata Murty in 2009, quickly rose to prominence over the years and became the UK Prime Minister at the age of 42, making him the youngest prime minister in the country's history.

Akshata Murty, the daughter of one of the richest billionaires in the world, has a personal fortune estimated to be over £730 million. Her parents are from India and own a billion-dollar tech company called Infosys.

Sudha Murty also mentioned in the video how her daughter has impacted the Prime Minister's life in various ways, including his diet. The Murthy family has long observed a custom of fasting every Thursday, which Rishi Sunak also follows.

However, due to Rishi Sunak's father-in-law's billionaire status, there have been doubts about whether he has disclosed every aspect of his family's financial interests, leading to recurrent scrutiny of Sunak and his wife over the previous four years.
