Indian American model, TV host, author and activist Padma Lakshmiꦡ didn't mince her words when addressing people who criticised her body online.
🍸While attending the Time 100 Gala, the 'Top Chef' star blasted trolls who criticize her anatomy while she's cooking up a storm in kitchen tutorial videos, reports aceshowbiz.com.
💜"I have boobs, I have nipples!" Padma, who looked stunning in a flowy dress featuring a high slit, told Page Six on Wednesday, April 26.
𒊎"So does every woman and man on the planet."
ওThe 52-year-old culinary macher went on to note, "I think we should just be a little more grown-up about it, and also just accept that a woman's body is beautiful and a not totally perfect and stuff and filtered and everything."
༺Padma has been facing heavy backlash on social media for her kitchen attire. Earlier this year, she slammed a fan who took offence when she joked around with her daughter Krishna about her own breasts. "As a mom of 4 daughters, there's a time and a place and when it starts making our daughters uncomfortable because we are being objectified, time to take notice," one social media user wrote.
♌In response to that, Padma said, "First if (sic) all it's a JOKE. And my daughter isn't uncomfortable with me or my boobs or my posts, nor does she read these comments unless I show her because she isn't on social media."
ꦓBack in 2020, the 'Tomatoes for Neela' author also clapped back at haters who criticized her for going braless while recording a cooking demonstration. "(I got some comments last time that it was immoral for me to not wear a bra in my own kitchen during the quarantine," she captioned an Instagram video of herself making lasagna.
✃"So those people should be happy to note that I'm wearing two today) But seriously, let's not police women's bodies in 2020 ok?"
