UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty have revealed details about how they share household chores in an interview with Grazia magazine.

Sunak said he often interrupts his work and checks whether Muty made the bed. Murth, daughter of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy, said she hates making the bed in the morning but her husband Rishi Sunak goes back to the Downing Street flat from the office and makes the bed as "it bugs him".

Further Murty said when they were studying at Stanford, she used to eat in bed and Sunak would find plates in her bed. Sunak responded, "That is disgusting- not anymore".
