Hello darlings, welcome back to Cognac’s Corner Magazine.

 

 Padma Lakshmi

 

My sources revealed that TV host for Top Chef beautiful Padma Laksmi may be leaving her husband Salman Rushdie who is 23 years her senior.  Apparently the New York Observer reported a story that the couple’s close friend, Designer Diane von Furstenberg, was overheard saying “I can’t believe she’s leaving him.”  The couple have been married a whole five years and first met at the Talk Magazine launch party in 1999 on Liberty Island.

Darlings, I had the chance to interview the handsome couple at the International Emmy Awards back in November.

The beautiful TV personality speaks five languages and has a seven inch scar on her inside arm as a result of a major car crash that she experienced as a child.  She started her show business career as a result of a photographer discovering her natural photogenic beauty while spending her senior year studying in Spain.

Exotic Padma was born in New Delhi in 1971 but spent most of her childhood in the United States.  Gorgeous Padmas always knew she was lovely and dreamed about becoming a model as a little girl in fact she reminisces about wearing a sensuous dress at the age of nine.

She has cat walked on the runway for such labels as Armani, Versace and Ralph Lauren.  She is also famous for recently writing the cookbook A Model’s Low-Fat Recipes from Around the World, that became an international bestseller.

Padma starred in two Bollywood films, Caribbeans and Sandokan: The Darkness and the Light. Because of her fame in India, American studios where interested in her talents and cast Padma as Sylk in the 2001 box-office bomb Glitter, with Mariah Carey. That same year, she guest-starred in an episode of the Star Trek spin-off Enterprise.

When her cookbook became a bestseller the Food Network gave her a TV show, Padma’s Passport, where she traveled the world tasting the most exotic dishes imaginable.

At present Padma is creating her own film production company, Lakshmi Productions.
