Akshata Murty, philanthropist and wife of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, shared a sweet remark on her husband’s cooking skills during an interview. She admitted that he is a better cook than her while speaking to Grazia women’s magazine. Murty wittily added that the PM “does not get much time to spend in the kitchen with a busy day job running the country”.
The magazine interviewed the couple ahead of the upcoming International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8 every year. During their conversation, they revealed how life is at “the UK’s most famous address”. They also talked about their daughters Krishna and Anoushka and their dog Nova.
“Rishi is the better cook. I do have a great deal of enthusiasm, but Rishi definitely has more talent in that department,” Murty shared.
“But it’s mainly just breakfast on Saturday mornings now. Gordon Ramsay’s scrambled eggs” added PM Sunak.

How did PM Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty meet?
Reminiscing about their college days, they shared that they met while studying at Stanford University. Murty also revealed that her “untidy habits would rile him even back then”.
“When we were studying, I used to actually eat in my bed. Rishi would come to where I lived. Sometimes there would be plates in my bed,” said Murty. She also added that she is “not the most organised person” especially when compared to her husband.
Life as parents:
The couple shared how they tend to divide their tasks as parents. “I’m stricter when it comes to things related to school, like getting their homework done, making sure they are reading. Making sure that anything related to school is done well,” said Murty. As for the rest, the PM takes care of it.
