For those not in the know, Akshata is the daughter of Infosys founder and billionaire Narayana Murthy and philanthropist Sudha Murthy.

Sunak becomes the 57th Prime Minister of the UK and the first person of colour to lead the country.

He is also UK’s first Hindu premier but the former chancellor to the exchequer has rarely spoken about his religion despite being a practising Hindu.
