Fate is so magical, it never fails those who dare to climb.
Risch Sunak, a British-Indian politician, was frustrated by his defeat not long ago.
Now, in less than a week, he has risen from a politician on a cold bench to the prime minister, the pinnacle of British power.
Sunak was Britain's first-ever prime minister of Indian descent, and was preceded entirely white.
He is also Britain's youngest prime minister in more than 200 years, born in 1980 and only 42 years old, a few years younger than handsome French President Emmanuel Macron.
But unfortunately, in addition to the famous Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Sunak is also the shortest British Prime Minister.
Foreign media reported that Winston Churchill was 5 feet 5 inches (about 1.65 meters) tall, and Sunak was 5 feet 6 inches (about 1.67 meters), 2 centimeters less.
Although Macron is not tall, only 177 centimeters, it is more than enough compared to Sunak.
So Sunak took the baton and became the youngest, shortest, but most visible and famous male leader in European politics.
On October 24, when Sunak won the final victory and became the leader of Britain, he could not suppress the joy on his face, jumped up and waved excitedly.
In the applause of everyone, Sunak also stuck out his tongue mischievously, putting on a very funny expression, which is indeed more true than the old politician.
Although authentically British, Sunak still believes in Hinduism.
The 24th is the first day of Diwali, the most important traditional festival in Hinduism, and the joy in Sunak's heart to be able to walk to the peak of life on such an important festival cannot be expressed in words.
This ambitious middle-aged man can become prime minister at such a young age, in addition to luck and excellent political skills, there is another factor that cannot be ignored.
That was the woman behind him and his wife, Akshata.
Akshata wears a long white dress and works with her parents-in-law (Sunak's parents) to help her husband.
With her husband becoming the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, it is logical that Akshata will take her two daughters to live with her husband at 10 Downing Street this weekend and officially become the first lady of the United Kingdom.
Objectively speaking, Akshata is not a glamorous Indian beauty, nor is she a virtuous inner helper in the traditional sense.
In family life, especially housework, Sunak likes a clean environment, while Akshata tolerates messy environments;
Sunak is good at organizing plans in life, but his wife is always casual and likes to follow the feelings.
The new prime minister also talked in public about his wife's "sloppy and lazy", openly saying:
"She doesn't love me more because I'm trying to change. To be honest, she has little interest in organizing things. ”
"She was a complete nightmare, her clothes were all over the house... Shoe...... Oh God, shoes everywhere. ”
Obviously, in married life, Sunak has always been tolerant of his wife and doted on his wife very much.
Even in the presence of King Charles III, he did not shy away from watching his lover with affection.
As Actasha spoke, her husband looked at her affectionately.
Even Charles III, who inherited so much of Queen Elizabeth's inheritance, leaned forward slightly and listened carefully to the goddess.
You know, Sunak's grandparents' generation was just poor ordinary people, who immigrated to East Africa to make a living, until his father's generation, he became a middle-class doctor who immigrated to Britain.
Sunak himself was good enough to study undergraduate philosophy and political economy at Oxford and an MBA at Stanford.
But none of the above was enough for him to easily reach the pinnacle of British power.
It can be said that the woman behind him, Akshata, has made a great contribution.
Since Sunak married her in 2009, he has been prosperous, from an unknown business elite in the financial world to the youngest chancellor in British history, until he becomes the youngest prime minister.
So, what is the background of Akshata?
Akshata, the same age as her husband, is also 42 years old this year.
Her father is Narayana Mersey, an IT tycoon known as Bill Gates of India.
Her mother, Souda, was the first female engineer at TELCO, India's largest car manufacturer.
Akshata also has a younger brother, both of whom grew up under the care of their grandparents, finishing high school in India and then coming to the United States to further their studies.
Akshata earned degrees in economics and French from the prestigious Claremont McCann College in California, followed by design at the Los Angeles School of Fashion Design and Marketing.
Then, when Akshata came to Stanford University to pursue an MBA, she met Rishi Sunak, a true son of the same skin color and faith.
Akshata fell in love with this handsome guy at first sight and was deeply impressed by the other party's knowledge and intelligence.
Sunak is also very fond of the goddess, and in order to pursue Akshata, Sunak has accompanied her to classes many times to please the goddess.
Although Sunak's height does not have an advantage among men, it cannot stand the eyes of billionaire Narayana Murti.
He believes that this young talent, smart and handsome and honest, with unlimited prospects, is worthy of his palm pearl.
In 2009, Sunak and Akshata held a traditional Indian wedding in Bangalore, India, attended by 1,000 guests.
After living in India for four years, Sunak began to enter British politics.
On October 25, according to tradition, Sunak went to meet Charles III, and people were shocked to find this "big lie": the height of the two did not seem to be different!
According to the official data of the British royal family, King Charles is almost 1.8 meters, while Sunak is only 167.
This minus one plus, the gap can be so big?
Therefore, who falsely reported and underreported, and who increased the height inside the soles, the audience can guess for themselves.
In any case, Sunak, who has no black spots except for the shorter (to be confirmed), has become the most powerful politician who makes all British men red.
Behind this, it is certainly inseparable from the support and trust of Akshata.
Sunak later admitted that when he first met Akshata, "things were a little different."
This is not just different, life is simply a few steps.
According to the latest reports from the British media, the new first lady Akshata and her husband jointly own a wealth of 730 million pounds (about 6 billion yuan), "richer than King Charles's 370 million pounds."
After graduating, Akshata has been working hard in the fashion industry, and in his early years, he also founded his own company, Akshata Design, but the real source of wealth is assets and investment.
Actasha holds a 0.81% stake in Infosys, estimated to be worth around £700 million. He also serves on the boards of Claremont McKenna College and the San Francisco Museum.
In the world of the rich, real estate is standard.
The top rich couple now live in Kensington, a townhouse worth £7 million (about 57.8 million yuan).
They own four properties in the UK and California worth about $18.3 million.
It is worth noting that Actasha is still an Indian citizen, no wonder Indian netizens are so happy!
No matter what occasion he attends, Sunak's eyes on his wife are always full of pampering and love, which makes people have to sigh that a woman with vision like Actasha is the real winner in life!
