The 51-year-old who was born in Chennai, India, on September 1, 1970, Padma Lakshmi is a well-known television personality.

She spent her formative years growing up in New York, according to a podcast, until her family moved to La Puente, California, as a teenager. Her height stands at 1.75m.
After a number of cameos on programs including Star Trek: Enterprise, The Ten Commandments, 30 Rock, and Wasteland, she launched her career in the late 1990s.

According to her 2016 interview with PEOPLE, “For me, it was amazing because I finally had somebody who understood me since he too was Indian and he was also living in the West and he was incredibly agile in bridging those two worlds.”
She was unable to have intercourse because of endometriosis, thus their storybook relationship abruptly came to an end. She went on to say that she believed Salman took it personally and she thought he felt rejected, and kind of understood his feelings towards her.
