Scar on Padma's Arm?

The scar is on her left arm as she is facing the television audience; obviously, then, it is actually her right arm. It's very long, and runs from the middle section of her upper arm down to the area just above her elbow. I haven't seen it in any photographs of her, and wonder if it is often air-brushed out of photos. Last season, it became very apparent to me as she had a some sort of glossy ointment over it. It appears as if there was major stitching involved.

Hi again! I just located pictures and an article detailing how Padma got the scar on her arm. The article is very interesting, and I actually appreciate her more now that I understand her history. She actually got the scar when she was fourteen-years-old! I have enclosed links, and I hope that my attempts to add a couple of pictures will be successful! If you are interested in seeing the above, here are the links: img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/bloodylamer/bastardly-photos/0505/album44/padma-lakshmi10160601.jpg www.lakshmifilms.com/padma_lakshmi_press2.htm

Thanks for your response, but I posted an article about the accident in a previous posting. From what I have read, Padma is getting a divorce from Salman Rushdie!

Yes, they are. I don't think they have been too public about the reason why, though I think it's been infered that it was her choice. She dedicated her most recent cook book to him though, I believe. Very interesting!

that story might be a lil fishy...if she has had that scar since she was lil why oh why did she have staples in her arm the first season of the show.....she should pack her knives and leave

That's cool that you read the article! Yes, I was very impressed with her attitude, also! She appears to be comfortable with herself, and really grew from the experience!
