In Bollyweird news, it turns out that Padma Lakshmi didn’t get curried up by her cousin after all. Her daughter Krishna was fathered by a very paid white man. Shocking right? Pop the hood for details.
The identity of Padma Lakshmi’s daughter has finally been revealed: Adam Dell, a venture capitalist who splits his time between Austin and New York City, fathered baby Krishna, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
Though the Top Chef host announced her pregnancy in October, she was mum about the father’s identity.
According to the source, Lakshmi, 39, and Dell, 40, are trying to work out visitation rights with their daughter, who will be a month old March 20. Dell would like “more time and involvement with the child,” says the source. “It’s all in negotiations. They are trying to work it out. They are trying to avoid anything messy.”
Lakshmi, meanwhile, has been spotted recently with Krishna. On March 11, the two were photographed together on a New York City bench.
The baby’s father was first reported by the New York Post.
Dell is the brother of Michael Dell — the founder of Dell, Inc — as in MAJOR tech DOLLAR$$$
Phew, what a relief. For a minute there we were worried that Weezy was the father of this one too!
We are curious to know what kind of drama Padma and Adam have, for her not to want to reveal he was the father, and to have such issues working out custody?

NUVO 3/18/10, 01:51:PM

Choco 3/18/10, 01:57:PM
Her daughter’s father is more than likely already married with children…
NINOR 3/18/10, 02:06:PM
WOW ‘curried up…’ how ignorant
Honeyb 3/18/10, 02:07:PM
Thats what I was thinking Choco! She was trying to be discrete so his status won’t come out.
Either way, she came up on this one. I live in Austin and the Dell’s are a big name here. So much so, one of them was building a house and the neighbors complained because they thought the city was building a theme park next door! That big! Imagine that child support check-get it Padma!
Don'tGiveAWhat 3/18/10, 02:08:PM
@ Somali Ninga
Is it too judgmental for me to think “Oh thank gawd!!”? LOL. That sh!t was just WAAAY to creepy for me, because I lubs me some Padma. And cousin-banging is SOOOOO not what’s up….
“For a minute there we were worried that Weezy was the father of this one too!”

By “Y’ALL nosy people”, did you mean to say “US nosy people”, fellow Bossiper?
LISTENUP 3/18/10, 02:13:PM
I ain’t saying she no GOLD DIGGER…..BUT – guess she don’t mind being a BABY MOMMA as long as the dude is rich. And make no mistake, she had the baby so she can be taken care of. Nothing new about that. NEXT!!!

Not a suprise. Indian women love them some white men.
Jeremy 3/18/10, 02:39:PM
“Curried up” = ignorant.
If you’re going to be ignorant/racist with Padma why do even bother defending Michelle Obama when people compare her to a monkey.
You’re fostering hate. Stop it.
Barack is president.
Oprah is queen of the world.
Halle/Denzel/Jamie/etc. have oscars.
Bossip is _________. (Choose carefully)
With great power, comes greater responsiblity.
CAT EYES 3/18/10, 02:45:PM
She kept it hidden because she didn’t want people to know that she was a whore that sleeps with people’s husbands.But hey,Salman Rushdie had already told the world so….
NiaNia 3/18/10, 02:51:PM
“more time and involvement with the child,” “It’s all in negotiations.” What is in negotiations? I can’t understand why she waited this long to have a baby then and goes for being just a babies mama. This was so tacky on every level Padma. I lost respect to that.
Lady A 3/18/10, 03:17:PM
Shes just another baby mama like so many women.
Carlisa 3/18/10, 03:29:PM
Women like Padma don’t get with dirty stinky rappers with grills and periodontal disease. That’s why the baby’s daddy is Mr. Dell…..and the baby will be well taken care of for life!!

Not just another Baby Momma! 3/18/10, 03:51:PM
Wrong! She’s not just another baby momma like so many other women. How many low-life Black men will not step up or even attempt to work out a visitation right? This child will have her father emotional and financial support…this is something that most “Baby Mommas” don’t have. Most of the time, men Like Lil’ Wayne only show up for birthdays and such because they are too busy being about themselves.
Indian women like Asian value White Successful men way more than the stereotyped black or hispanic men. In fact, Indians might pick a successful Latino man before a black man who the family will not respect. They think of Black men as Ethiopians or bottom of the barrel, they even discriminate against the darker skin Indians in their Country.

Indian Men Too Small for Condoms
raghead 3/18/10, 05:39:PM
Indian men found standard size condoms too big.
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.
raghead 3/18/10, 05:42:PM
Yuck it smells like stanky curry in here must be some ugly dot head women around

From what I read she had some kind of fertility issues and was just happy to be pregnant, I can understand that!

afrodite 3/18/10, 06:23:PM
I was just telling my friend I want to be so rich, beautiful, and influential just like padma that I can jst show up preg one day and people will be on edge wondering who the father is, cuz i got it like that. i love it. she’s a boss. she didnt even have to reveal him. she should have kept him secret.
i’m just mad he’s just some rich white guy, though. first selma, now padma. for once, I want the father to be a sexy, broke busboy or a street musician or something romantic. not another blah white guy. they can have babies with whomever, so why chose these guys? its the money
IGNORANT 3/18/10, 06:23:PM
wow- ‘CURRIED UP”- you want to be known as a “credible” site for BLACK celebrity gossip, then change your ignorant ways. Youd think with all of the discrimination/prejudice related news items you report about…you wouldn’t be racist.
Salmon Rushdie 3/18/10, 06:32:PM
East Indian women love the white dudes and that is a fact. They did a survey in Britain last year about Indians and the women stated that there ideal man was a White, English speaking man, in other words, a Brit. She wants the guys money but doesn’t want him to be a part of his child’s life??? Wrong! He should have equal access.
mariaghgjj 3/18/10, 06:38:PM
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site- A_ge_m_in_g l e @ c//o//m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

East indian women look like they stank like curry sauce ugly bastards
Bobby Jindal 3/18/10, 07:11:PM
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.
The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.
It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.
The two-year study was carried out by the Indian Council of Medical Research.
Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre.
London Calling- Fashionista - IBIZA 3/18/10, 07:23:PM
Indian women date white men, sometimes, but refreshingly the love and respect the indian man too. The population in India is a billion…….. clearly they are breeding with indian men.
THAT is not true when say that indian women prefer english men, in facts it is a lie ( Give me the evidence ) The asian bridal industry and culture is widely acknowledge and big business. I went to a girls school in London and all the indian girls had no problem MARRYING their own men; they even have arranged marriages often
i live in the UK : Please tell me who conducted the survey?
You don’t see Indian women trashing anyone on youtube………….
THE INFORMER 3/18/10, 07:32:PM
Not just another Baby Momma!@ you are stupid They think the same about black women in genaral black people are down the barell and lil gayne do take care of his children you are just another bitter woman get your life right and stop hating on black men for nothing you sound ridiculous and please go and worship white men cause no other race other than white would waste their time on you stupid cum bucket
the similaritiesbetween african americans and indians = SELF HATE 3/18/10, 07:41:PM
i myself live in london indian women are like african american women its not about who the person is inside its about his skin colour he can be ugly but he is white so that is great becaus indians want lighter skin and get up in their system and often indians girls in uk have arraignment marriages and if you are dark indian or whatever you are like the “devil” they dont sit with you then dont speak to you they just look down on you indians soceity have a big with the african american community
London - Fashionista - IBIZA 3/18/10, 08:02:PM
Indian women are in no way shape or form like Afro American women , and i KNOW they would detest that comparison.
Indians men and women want to marry ‘ wheaten ‘ spouse but they do have paler indians from the northern parts so they marry those ones
London - Fashionista - IBIZA 3/18/10, 08:06:PM
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE MANY indian billionaire are married to indian women, IR is not a pandemic in their culture as in is amongst afro carribeans in the uk or afro amercians. In fact there are millions more indians / asians in the uk than blacks . They marry within nad stick together BIG TIME, HENCE why they are superpower and killing it the uk.
THE RICHEST MAN IN THE UK IS LAKSHMI PATTEL. AN INDIAN.
