In the video of Ms Murthy’s speaks about how her daughter has influenced the prime minister’s life in other ways, particularly his diet.
The Murthy family, she says, have long followed a tradition of fasting every Thursday.
“Yes, what should be started on Thursday, they started Infosys on Thursday, not only that! Not only that, but our son-in-law, who married our daughter, has been in England for 150 years from their ancestor’s time, but they are very religious. After getting married, he asked why you start anything on Thursday. They said that we will go to Raghavendra Swami. He fasts every Thursday after just saying good day. Our son-in-law’s mother fasts every Monday but our son-in-law fasts on Thursdays,” she said.
