Padma Lakshmi (pictured), the former wife of Sir Salman Rushdie, has decided to remind him what he is missing in the latest edition of Allure magazine. Posing for a photograph that would not look out of place in a soft pornography magazine, the Indian-born model turned cookery writer revealed how she had prepared for the shoot."I exercised a little bit extra, but I actually think I look better when I have a little bit of weight on - my breasts are fuller and I'm curvier than when I'm at my thinnest."
Lakshmi, 38, who divorced Rushdie in 2007 shortly after he received his knighthood, is then asked if she sleeps naked, to which she replies: "I tend to sleep in the nude. I'm an innately tactile person and a very sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting! When I'm in my own private space, I do spend time with very little on."
