Padma Lakshmi continued, “This is me in our jewelry campaign for The Padma Collection. I’m exhausted here, not only from doing Top Chef, losing the weight and running a jewelry company on the side but from all of the stresses that come with being a sole business owner. A year from when this picture was taken I had to make the difficult decision as a new mom to close my company, my lover was dying of cancer, and I just couldn’t handle it all.”
“I learned so much about my priorities during that time,” wrote Padma.
In the photo, she is seen wearing a blazer with a plunging neckline and a few pieces of jewellery.
Padma Lakshmi welcomed her daughter Krishna, whom she shares with her former partner Adam Dell, in February 2010.
