LONDON: My daughter Akshata Murthy made her husband the Prime Minister of UK, said Sudha Murthy, mother-in law of Rishi Sunak. Sudha Murthy claimed in a video circulating online that because of her daughter, Rishi Sunak became the youngest prime minister of UK. This video is going viral on social media. This has drawn a lot of criticism. Sunak is the youngest prime minister of UK at 42. He was an MP who became PM in just seven years.

‘This is the glory of the wife. A wife can change a husband. I made my husband a businessman and my daughter made her husband a Prime Minister,’ she said in an Instagram post.

‘Our son-in-law has been in England for 150 years from their ancestor's time. After his marriage, he had asked why fasting on Thursdays and after knowing it, he also started fasting,’ she said.

Rishi Sunak married Akshata Murthy in 2009. She is the daughter of Narayana Murthy, one of the world's wealthiest billionaires and has a personal fortune of around Pound 730 million. Narayana Murthy is one of India's richest men and founder of the Infosys tech company.
