Padma Lakshmi exposes satanic' nature of sex-monger' Salman Rushdie

March 9, 2016

Indian-American model and chef Padma Lakshmi, in her yet to launch memoir Love, Loss And What We Ate, has exposed the misogynistic and terrible face of Booker Prize winner Sir Salman Rushdie.

Ms Lakshmi accused the controversial writer of describing her as “a bad investment” after she refused his forceful sexual advances, and painted him as a cold and heartless husband.

The book is rich with sensual prose and punctuated with evocative recipes, is alive with the scents, tastes, and textures of a life that spans complex geographies both internal and external. Padma who married Rushdie in 2004, went on to host the popular TV show, Top Chef.

She also talks about how the author of The Satanic Verses needed constant care, feeding, and frequent sex and was even insensitive to a medical condition she had that made intercourse painful for her. She reveals that Rushdie needed to be consoled frequently for losing the Nobel Prize for Literature every year.

Padma was nearly 20 years younger to the novelist when she started dating him in 1999. After staying together for eight years they divorced in 2007.

After the collapse of her first marriage, she fell in love with billionaire and CEO of IMG, Ted Forstmann, who passed away in 2011 after being diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer.

She also revealed the truth about the moment she found out she was pregnant with her daughter, Krishna, and didn't know if the father was Forstmann or venture capitalist Adam Dell, whom she was also dating at the time.

The New York based author has previously authored two cookbooks--Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet in 2007 and Easy Exotic: A Model's Low Fat Recipes From Around the World, in 1999.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
