Before International Women's Day, the couple, who tied the knot in 2009, disclosed some specific information regarding their existence at the official residence of the British Prime Minister, called Number 10. They conveyed these details to their two daughters, Krishna, aged 12, and Anoushka, aged 11.

However, not all people have been pleased with it, with various individuals online labeling it as "tone-deaf." This is due to the fact that both the richest prime minister and the millionaire entrepreneur discuss managing domestic responsibilities.

Here are five important points to consider from the recent interview published yesterday.

If you are someone who loves eggs and is always on the lookout for new and exciting recipes, then you must try this recipe.

Then add the crème fraîche, salt and pepper according to your taste. Whisk the mixture together until it becomes frothy. Next, heat a pan on low flame and add the butter to it. Make sure the butter spreads evenly across the pan. When the butter has melted, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Then using a spatula, continuously stir the eggs around the pan. Don't let them sit on one side for too long as they will overcook. Stir the eggs constantly and gently, until they start to come together into soft curds. Once they are cooked to your desired consistency, transfer them onto a warm plate and serve them immediately. You should have light, fluffy, and creamy scrambled eggs with a delicious taste. So, if you want to enjoy the perfect scrambled eggs like Gordon Ramsay, try this recipe and elevate your breakfast game.

Ms. Murty readily acknowledged that her spouse had superior culinary skills, but they both agreed that he didn't have enough time to showcase his talents.

The Prime Minister mentioned that he is only actively engaged in cooking meals on Saturday mornings. During that time, he prepares a dish known as "Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs."

Well, that's the dish that defines him, but surprisingly the Prime Minister requires more than just eggs to energize him to govern the nation.

According to his spouse, Mr Sunak is quite specific about the requirements of the duo and their two female offspring.

According to her, Rishi is always the one who establishes the framework while she is responsible for completing it.

"So he says: 'they should include a source of protein, a complex carbohydrate, and some vegetables.'"

According to Mr Sunak, all the essential ingredients are not present in family meals unless he personally supervises them.

Ms. Murty is already prepared with her explanation: "You see, all of a sudden, Anoushka hasn't completed her homework and then she asks for pasta, claiming that she needs it," she explained.

Rishi is plagued with bed bugs when it comes to doing household chores.

These are not actual bed bugs, but rather things that annoy Mr. Sunak.

Ms. Murty confesses that she isn't someone who prefers waking up early. Meanwhile, Mr. Sunak adds that she also has a dislike towards making the bed, and it annoys him.

Sometimes, even when everyone has left the office and gone home, I go back up to my flat just to make sure the bed is made. It really bothers me when it's not made properly.

However, it appears that Ms. Murty has significantly improved her bed hygiene habits as she confesses that she used to consume food while in bed during the early stages of her relationship with her spouse.

In the past, he would return to my place and occasionally I would find dishes on my bed.

"That was repulsive," Mr Sunak mutters as he remembers the events. "That's no longer the case," the prime minister concludes.

He also asserts himself as the most skilled at properly loading the dishwasher, acknowledging that he adjusts its contents even after his partner already loaded it.

He mentions that he likes both tasks equally and finds them both satisfying, but ultimately decides that making the bed is his favorite.

Children don't get rewards for completing household tasks.

When it concerns her children, Ms. Murty takes control of the educational matters.

According to Ms Murty, she is tougher regarding school-related tasks such as completing homework, ensuring they read regularly, and ensuring that school-related obligations are accomplished proficiently.

According to her, when it comes to everything else, Mr Sunak is the more demanding parent.

Mr. Sunak humorously suggests that it would be better if the owners of the dog would take it for a stroll more frequently.

According to the couple, their daughters complete their household tasks without expecting any tangible incentives in return.

Ms. Murty shares that she doesn't support offering rewards to children. According to her, they all belong to one family and they must collectively exert effort and support one another. This is the inevitable course of life, she adds.

However, Mr. Sunak argues that he provides them with "refreshments" as compensation for their difficulties.

He is only able to run once every week.

The prime minister puts the country's running before his personal running on the streets. He reveals that he can only go for a run once every week nowadays.

"We used to go out together frequently," he tells his spouse, reminiscing about "the past".

According to Ms. Murty, she engages in physical activity more frequently than Mr. Sunak. Additionally, she mentions that she enjoys a greater degree of flexibility in terms of managing her timetable, which Mr. Sunak seemingly lacks.

What does Mr. Sunak engage in during his leisurely hours?

"When I come back home, I feel very tired. So, I like to unwind by watching an episode of Friends before sleeping," he mentioned, additionally stating that they have already seen the series countless times, but yet it never really loses its charm.
