In a candid Instagram post on May 26, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak shared six things he and his wife Akshata Murty have in common, revealing that they are just like any other ordinary couple. Addressing the post jointly on Instagram, Sunak began by acknowledging that people often ask them about their shared traits, beyond their love for Friends reruns and Spanish cuisine.
Going beyond their shared interests, Sunak emphasized the values they hold dear. He wrote, “We share the belief that hard work should decide where you go in life. We share the belief that it takes bold action to make a difference. We share the belief that our children will inherit a better world than the one we share today.” Their shared principles have driven their commitment to speaking with people about the values that matter to them and the future they envision for their children.
The couple’s post received a mixed response on social media. While some praised their simplicity and dedication, others criticized their alleged wrongdoings. Despite the varying reactions, Sunak and Murty have remained steadfast in their support for each other. Recently, Murty shared a message for her husband ahead of the elections, stating “I’m with you, every step of the way.” The general election is scheduled for July 4, with Britons set to choose their next leader. The Conservatives, who have been in power for 14 years, face the possibility of losing to the opposition Labour Party.
