Padma Lakshmi Biography
Padma Lakshmi was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu India[1][2][3][4][5] to a Keralite father who was a Pfizer executive and his first wife Vijaya,[6] a nurse who specialized in suicide prevention.[7][5] She grew up shuttling between her grandparents in Chennai and her mother in New York.[8][5][9] She was her parents' only child from this marriage. Her parents separated when she was one and divorced a year later. Both parents later remarried,[10] and Lakshmi has a younger paternal half-brother and half-sister. The latter formerly worked as an actress and classical dancer but is now pursuing a career with children with special needs.[10] In an interview in The Guardian, Lakshmi said, "My father had quit his job as an executive at Pfizer to manage her career. That was kind of like rubbing salt in the wound. I didn't understand why he wanted that relationship with her, and not with me."[5]
In 1984, when she was 14 years old, Padma was in a car accident in Malibu, causing an injury to her right arm that required surgery, which left a 7-inch scar[5] between her elbow and shoulder. The incident happened on a Sunday afternoon as Padma was being driven home from a Hindu temple in Malibu.
