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.
