Rishi Sunak has Akshata’s vote when it comes to being the better cook even though it’s now restricted to making breakfast on Saturdays. The British PM also makes the bed and takes out the trash and is way better at stacking up the dishwasher. Taking care of the girls’ school work is what Akshata Murty takes charge of…and the PM and British First Lady end their day by watching a rerun of sitcom ‘Friends’.
