Akshata Murty: Who is Rishi Sunak's wife? (BBC News)

The daughter of an Indian billionaire, she has previously come under the spotlight over her tax affairs.

She went on to study economics and French at the private liberal Claremont McKenna College in California. In April, Mr Murthy said there was no TV in their home to make time for "things like studying, reading, discussions and meeting friends". She later agreed to pay UK taxes on her worldwide income. One of her main business interests is the London-based offshoot of Catamaran Ventures, which was founded by Ms Murty and Mr Sunak in 2013 and invests in start-ups. When she was just a few months old, Ms Murty was sent to live with her paternal grandparents as her mother, Sudha Murty, and her father advanced their careers in Mumbai.

Rishi Sunak is married to Narayana Murthy's daughter Akshata Murthy and the couple have two daughters - Krishna, 11, and Anoushka, 9.

The couple married in Bengaluru in August 2009 in a traditional Indian wedding spread over two days. “She is not going to love me for saying this, but I’ll be honest with you, she is not big on the whole tidying thing. Murthy said he was confident Sunak would “do his best” for the country. While Akshata went to school in Bengaluru, she has lived abroad for a major part of her subsequent life. We are confident he will do his best for the people of the United Kingdom,” Murthy said in a brief statement after it became clear that Sunak, 42, would be Britain’s next Prime Minister. We are proud of him and we wish him success.
