If you're big Top Chef fans like we are, you're probably wondering how did host Padma Lakshmi's scar happen?She doesn't talk about it much but Vogue magazine recently asked Padma Lakshmi about her scar.
Padma said it happeend in 1984, when she was 14 years old. After a serious automobile accident, she had to get surgery on the arm, which left a 7-inch scar between her elbow and shoulder.
The accident happened as Padma Lakshmi was being driven home by her parents from a Hindu temple in Malibu. She heard a loud bang and as she looked out the windshield, she realized their car was airborne.
"Flying in a car felt like an exhilarating hallucination, an unbelievable ride that oddly remains one of the most beautiful images in my memory," she said.
The car flew 40 feet down an embankment and straight into a tree. The tree trunk fell directly on top of the car and paramedics had to use the "jaws of life" to extract the family from the crumpled car.
Fortunately, everyone survived.
